1 in = 1.7e-13 AU
Full precision:1.7e-13 AU
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 inches to astronomical units, we divide by 5.89e+12 because one astronomical unit equals exactly 5.89e+12 inches.

1 astronomical unit = 5.89e+12 inches

Since there are 5.89e+12 inches in every astronomical unit, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 5.89e+12 = 1.7e-13 astronomical units

So 1 inches = 1.7e-13 astronomical units.

Quick check: 1.7e-13 × 5.89e+12 = 1 inches

How to Convert Inches to Astronomical Units

To convert inches to astronomical units, divide the value by 5.89e+12.

The Formula

Astronomical Units = Inches ÷ 5.89e+12

Key Fact

1 astronomical unit = 5.89e+12 inches

Tip: To convert astronomical units back to inches, multiply by 5.89e+12.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 in = 1.7e-13 AU
1 ÷ 5.89e+12 = 1.7e-13
Example 2: 5 in = 8.49e-13 AU
5 ÷ 5.89e+12 = 8.49e-13
Example 3: 10 in = 1.7e-12 AU
10 ÷ 5.89e+12 = 1.7e-12
