How to Convert Millimeters to Meters
To convert millimeters to meters, divide the value by 1000.
The Formula
Meters = Millimeters ÷ 1000
Key Fact
1 meter = 1000 millimeters
Tip: To convert meters back to millimeters, multiply by 1000.
Millimeters to Meters
Convert millimeters (mm) to meters (m) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
mm
m
1 mm = 0.001 m
Full precision:0.001 m
Feet + Inches:1.55 in
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000 because one meter equals exactly 1000 millimeters.
1 meter = 1000 millimeters
Since there are 1000 millimeters in every meter, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 meters
So 1 millimeters = 0.001 meters.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 millimeters
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 mm = 0.001 m
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 mm = 0.005 m
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 mm = 0.01 m
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
