Convert point to caliber

Learn how to convert 1 point to caliber step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (c a l i b e r)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (p o i n t) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (c a l i b e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (c a l i b e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.54 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.54 \times {10^{- 5}}^{10^{- 1}} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4}

Simplify

10^{- 1} = x

Switch sides

x = 10^{- 1}

Solve

x

x = 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) = 10^{- 1} (c a l i b e r)
