1 μCi = 1e-6 Ci
Full precision:0.000001 Ci
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 microcuries to curies, we divide by 1000000 because one curie equals exactly 1000000 microcuries.
1 curie = 1000000 microcuries
Since there are 1000000 microcuries in every curie, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-6 curies
So 1 microcuries = 1e-6 curies.
Quick check: 1e-6 × 1000000 = 1 microcuries
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 μCi = 1e-6 Ci
1 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-6
1 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-6
Example 2: 5 μCi = 5e-6 Ci
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6
Example 3: 10 μCi = 1e-5 Ci
10 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-5
10 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-5
