About this conversion

The millimeter (mm) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for engineering and manufacturing tolerances and bolt and screw dimensions. The meter (m) belongs to the metric (SI) and is typically found in measurements related to room and building dimensions and swimming pool lengths. By definition, one millimeter is one thousandth of a meter (0.001 m). 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. The conversion factor between these two units is 0.001: multiplying any value in mm by this number gives the equivalent in m. For example, 10 mm equals 0.0100 m. Going the other direction, 1 m equals 1000 mm. The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.

Examples

  • 2 mm to m = 0.0020 m
