Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 nanometers to inches, we divide by 25400000 because one inch equals exactly 25400000 nanometers.
1 inch = 25400000 nanometers
Since there are 25400000 nanometers in every inch, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 25400000 = 3.937e-8 inches
So 1 nanometers = 3.937e-8 inches. For practical use, this is approximately 0 inches on a standard ruler.
Quick check: 3.937e-8 × 25400000 = 1 nanometers
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 nm = 3.937e-8 in
1 ÷ 25400000 = 3.937e-8
1 ÷ 25400000 = 3.937e-8
Example 2: 5 nm = 1.9685e-7 in
5 ÷ 25400000 = 1.9685e-7
5 ÷ 25400000 = 1.9685e-7
Example 3: 10 nm = 3.937e-7 in
10 ÷ 25400000 = 3.937e-7
10 ÷ 25400000 = 3.937e-7
