Convert span to nanon

Learn how to convert 1 span to nanon step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s p a n) = x (n a n 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 (s p a n) = 0.2286 (m e t e r) = 0.2286 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (n a n o n) = 10^{- 9} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 9} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s p a n) = x (n a n o n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.2286 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 9} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.2286 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 10^{- 9} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.2286 \cdot (m) = x \times 10^{- 9} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

0.2286 = x \times 10^{- 9}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 9} = 0.2286

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}})

x \times 10^{- 9} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}} = 0.2286 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 9} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}} = 0.2286 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.2286}{10^{- 9}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 9}} can be rewritten to 10^{9}

Rewrite

x = 10^{9} \times 0.2286

Solve

x

x = 228600000 = 2.286 \times 10^{8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s p a n) = 2.286 \times 10^{8} (n a n o n)
