How it Works: Formula & Examples
Unit conversion involves converting a quantity from one unit of measurement to another. This calculator supports common length and weight conversions.
How it Works:
Each conversion is performed by first converting the input value to a common base unit (e.g., centimeters for length, milligrams for weight) and then converting from that base unit to the desired target unit.
Length Units:
- Millimeter (mm), Centimeter (cm), Meter (m), Kilometer (km)
- Inch (in), Foot (ft), Yard (yd), Mile (mi)
Weight Units:
- Milligram (mg), Gram (g), Kilogram (kg)
- Ounce (oz), Pound (lb), Ton (US ton)
Example (Length): Convert 5 meters to centimeters
5 m * 100 cm/m = 500 cm
Example (Weight): Convert 2 pounds to kilograms
2 lb * 0.453592 kg/lb = 0.907184 kg
