Learn how to convert 1 mil to linear inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
1.0(mil)=x(linear inch)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit (meter)
Left side: 1.0 (mil)=2.54×105(meter)=2.54×105(m)
Right side: 1.0 (linear inch)=0.0254(meter)=0.0254(m)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine x
1.0(mil)=x(linear inch)
Insert known values =>
1.0×2.54×105×(meter)=x×0.0254×(meter)
Or
1.02.54×105(m)=x0.0254(m)
Cancel SI units
1.0×2.54×105(m)=x×0.0254×(m)
Conversion Equation
2.54×105=x×0.0254
Switch sides
x×0.0254=2.54×105
Isolate x
Multiply both sides by (1.00.0254)
x×0.0254×1.00.0254=2.54×105×1.00.0254
Cancel
x×0.0254×1.00.0254=2.54×105×1.00.0254
Simplify
x=2.54×1050.0254
Solve x
x=100×105
Conversion Equation
1.0(mil)=100×105(linear inch)
