Conversion Formula

The formula to convert inches to millimeters is simple: multiply the inch value by 25.4. This number comes from international agreement where one inch is exactly 25.4 millimeters. So, the formula looks like this:

millimeters = inches × 25.4

For example, if you have 1.95 inches, multiply 1.95 by 25.4:

1.95 × 25 = 48.75
1.95 × 0.4 = 0.78
Add these results: 48.75 + 0.78 = 49.53 mm

This shows how fractional parts of inches convert precisely into millimeters.

Conversion Example

Convert 3.2 inches to mm:
- Step 1: Multiply 3.2 by 25.4
- Step 2: 3.2 × 25 = 80
- Step 3: 3.2 × 0.4 = 1.28
- Step 4: Add 80 + 1.28 = 81.28 mm
Convert 0.75 inches to mm:
- Step 1: Multiply 0.75 by 25.4
- Step 2: 0.75 × 25 = 18.75
- Step 3: 0.75 × 0.4 = 0.3
- Step 4: Add 18.75 + 0.3 = 19.05 mm
Convert 5.5 inches to mm:
- Step 1: Multiply 5.5 by 25.4
- Step 2: 5.5 × 25 = 137.5
- Step 3: 5.5 × 0.4 = 2.2
- Step 4: Add 137.5 + 2.2 = 139.7 mm
Convert 12 inches to mm:
- Step 1: Multiply 12 by 25.4
- Step 2: 12 × 25.4 = 304.8 mm

Conversion Definitions

Inches: Inches is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, used mostly in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. One inch equals exactly 2.54 centimeters, or 25.4 millimeters. It is subdivided into smaller parts such as halves, quarters, and sixteenths.

Millimeters (mm): Millimeters is a metric unit of length equal to one thousandth of a meter. It is used worldwide in science, engineering, and everyday measurements. One millimeter is equivalent to 0.03937 inches, making it much smaller than an inch but useful for precise measurements.
