Convert lap to micron

Learn how to convert 1 lap to micron step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l a p) = x (m i c r o n)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (l a p) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (m e t e r) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (m i c r o n) = 10^{- 6} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 6} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l a p) = x (m i c r o n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 6} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 10^{- 6} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m) = x \times 10^{- 6} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

4.0 \times 10^{2} = x \times 10^{- 6}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 6} = 4.0 \times 10^{2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}})

x \times 10^{- 6} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 6} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.0 \times 10^{2}}{10^{- 6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} can be rewritten to 10^{6}

Rewrite

x = 10^{6} \times 4.0 \times 10^{2}

Simplify

x = 10^{8} \times 4.0

Solve

x

x = 400000000 = 4 \times 10^{8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l a p) = 4 \times 10^{8} (m i c r o n)
