Micrometers to Meters

Convert micrometers (μm) to meters (m) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Micrometers (μm)

μm

Meters (m)

1 μm = 1e-6 m

Full precision:0.000001 m

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 micrometers to meters, we divide by 1000000 because one meter equals exactly 1000000 micrometers.

1 meter = 1000000 micrometers

Since there are 1000000 micrometers in every meter, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-6 meters

So 1 micrometers = 1e-6 meters.

✓Quick check: 1e-6 × 1000000 = 1 micrometers

How to Convert Micrometers to Meters

To convert micrometers to meters, divide the value by 1000000.

Meters = Micrometers ÷ 1000000

1 meter = 1000000 micrometers

Tip: To convert meters back to micrometers, multiply by 1000000.

Example 1: 1 μm = 1e-6 m
1 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-6

Example 2: 5 μm = 5e-6 m
5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6

Example 3: 10 μm = 1e-5 m
10 ÷ 1000000 = 1e-5
