Examples

Value
In the equation 1 inch = 0.0254 meters, the value 0.0254 is the conversion factor of inch.

Comments

• To convert a numeric value from one unit of measure to another, multiply by the conversion factor of the first unit and then divide by the conversion factor of the second unit.

For example, to convert 27 feet to yards:

the conversion factor of foot is 0.3048 the conversion factor of yard is 0.9144

so

27 feet = (27 x 0.3048) / 0.9144 = 9 yards
