Unit conversion uses a simple factor-based approach. Each unit in a category has a conversion factor relative to a base unit. To convert from one unit to another, the calculator multiplies the input value by the source unit's factor and divides by the target unit's factor:
result = value × (from factor ÷ to factor)
Temperature conversions are handled separately using offset-based formulas (e.g., Celsius to Fahrenheit uses °F = °C × 9/5 + 32) rather than simple multiplication.
To convert 100 meters to other length units:
The calculator handles all of these conversions automatically using high-precision BigNumber arithmetic.
This converter supports over 30 categories including length, mass, volume, temperature, pressure, energy, force, velocity, time, area, power, torque, frequency, and many more. Each category contains all commonly used units.
All conversions use BigNumber arithmetic with 64-digit decimal precision. Results are displayed with up to 8 significant figures. This far exceeds the precision of most physical measurements.
Most unit conversions use simple multiplication and division by conversion factors. Temperature conversions require offset-based formulas because the scales have different zero points. For example, 0°C = 273.15 K, not 0 K.
No. Unit conversion only works within the same physical dimension. You cannot convert meters (length) to kilograms (mass) because they measure fundamentally different quantities. Select the appropriate category first, then choose your units.
The International System of Units (SI) is the modern form of the metric system. Its seven base units are: meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (current), kelvin (temperature), mole (amount), and candela (luminous intensity). Most scientific and engineering work uses SI units.
