Formula & explanation

Most linear units are converted through a documented base unit using a factor. Temperatures apply offsets. Fuel economy uses reciprocal relationships, while number-base tools parse and represent integers.. The result is calculated locally using the unit definitions bundled with this site. Display values may be rounded, while internal calculations use floating-point arithmetic.

When a conversion is used for regulated, safety-critical or laboratory work, confirm the appropriate standard, source definition, significant figures and instrument requirements.
