Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 micrometers to inches, we divide by 25400 because one inch equals exactly 25400 micrometers.
1 inch = 25400 micrometers
Since there are 25400 micrometers in every inch, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 25400 = 3.937e-5 inches
So 1 micrometers = 3.937e-5 inches. For practical use, this is approximately 0 inches on a standard ruler.
Quick check: 3.937e-5 × 25400 = 1 micrometers
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 μm = 3.937e-5 in
1 ÷ 25400 = 3.937e-5
1 ÷ 25400 = 3.937e-5
Example 2: 5 μm = 0.000197 in
5 ÷ 25400 = 0.000197
5 ÷ 25400 = 0.000197
Example 3: 10 μm = 0.000394 in
10 ÷ 25400 = 0.000394
10 ÷ 25400 = 0.000394
