Unit converters
Unit converters turn a measurement from one system into another: centimetres to inches, kilograms to pounds, miles to kilometres. The converters here use exact, internationally defined conversion factors, and show the same value in every other unit so you can pick the one you need.

Common questions
Which conversion factors do you use?
The exact definitions: for example 1 inch is 25.4 mm, 1 pound is 0.45359237 kg and 1 international mile is 1,609.344 m. These are legal definitions, not rounded approximations.
Why do some results show many digits?
Results are shown with up to 10 significant digits so that small differences are not lost. Round the number to the precision you need.
