Formel
How this is calculated
The inch has been defined as exactly 25.4 millimetres since the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement between the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. This is an exact definition — there is no rounding — so all metric conversions in this calculator are mathematically exact. Multiply by 2.54 for centimetres, 0.0254 for metres, 0.0000254 for kilometres.
Within the imperial/US customary system, 12 inches make 1 foot, 36 inches make 1 yard, and 63 360 inches make 1 mile. Dividing by these integers gives the respective conversions, which are also exact by definition.
Common reference points: a standard A4 sheet of paper is 11.69 inches tall; a US letter sheet is 11 inches; a typical smartphone screen is 5–7 inches diagonally; a foot is 12 inches; a metre is approximately 39.37 inches.
