Convert micron to ångström

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i c r o n) = x (å n g s t r ö m)

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

(m e t e r)

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

Right side: 1.0 (å n g s t r ö m) = 10^{- 10} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 10} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i c r o n) = x (å n g s t r ö m)

Insert known values =>

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

Or

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

Cancel SI units

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

Conversion Equation

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

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

10^{- 6} = x \times {10^{- 10}}^{10^{- 4}}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times 10^{- 4}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 4} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}})

x \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} = \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} = \frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} can be rewritten to 10^{4}

Rewrite

x = 10^{4}

Solve

x

x = 10000 = 1 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i c r o n) = 1 \times 10^{4} (å n g s t r ö m)
