About this conversion

The meter (m) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for room and building dimensions and swimming pool lengths. The inch (in) belongs to the imperial / US customary and is typically found in measurements related to TV and monitor screen diagonals and US and UK clothing sizes. By definition, one meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units, defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. One inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, by international agreement since 1959. The conversion factor between these two units is 39.37007874015748: multiplying any value in m by this number gives the equivalent in in. For example, 10 m equals 393.7008 in. Going the other direction, 1 in equals 0.0254 m. The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. The inch was historically based on the width of a human thumb. Its exact metric equivalent (2.54 cm) was standardized internationally in 1959.
