Instantly convert between units of length, mass, temperature, area, volume, speed, digital storage and time.
iHow it is calculated
Each quantity has a base unit. The conversion turns the value into the base unit (multiplying by the source factor) and then into the target unit:
result = value × factor(source) ÷ factor(target)
5 km to miles = 5 × 1000 ÷ 1609.344 ≈ 3.107 miles. Temperature is special: 20 °C = 20 × 9/5 + 32 = 68 °F.
?Frequently asked questions
How do I convert between units of measure?
Pick the quantity (length, mass, temperature, area, volume, speed, digital storage or time), the source unit and the target unit, then enter the value. The conversion uses standard SI factors.
How do I convert length units (mm, cm, m, km, inch, foot, mile)?
1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 foot (ft) = 0.3048 m, 1 yard = 0.9144 m, 1 mile = 1.609 km. Example: 100 m ≈ 328.08 feet; 5 km ≈ 3.11 miles.
How do I convert kilograms to pounds, grams and ounces?
1 kg ≈ 2.205 pounds (lb), 1 ounce (oz) ≈ 28.35 g, 1 tonne = 1000 kg. Example: 70 kg ≈ 154.3 lb; 500 g ≈ 17.64 oz.
How do I convert Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin?
The formulas: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32 and K = °C + 273.15. Example: 37 °C = 98.6 °F = 310.15 K; 20 °C = 68 °F.
How do I convert areas (square meter, hectare, acre, km²)?
1 hectare = 10,000 m², 1 acre ≈ 4046.86 m², 1 km² = 1,000,000 m². Example: 2 hectares = 20,000 m² ≈ 4.94 acres.
How do I convert liters to milliliters, cubic meters and gallons?
1 liter = 1000 ml = 0.001 m³, and 1 US gallon ≈ 3.785 liters. Example: 1 m³ = 1000 liters; 10 liters ≈ 2.64 US gallons.
How do I convert speed (km/h, miles per hour, m/s, knots)?
1 km/h ≈ 0.2778 m/s, 1 mile/hour (mph) ≈ 1.609 km/h, 1 knot ≈ 1.852 km/h. Example: 100 km/h ≈ 62.14 mph ≈ 27.78 m/s.
How do I convert bytes to kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes?
Using the factor 1024: 1 KB = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1024 KB, 1 GB = 1024 MB, 1 TB = 1024 GB. Example: 2 GB = 2048 MB.
How many bytes are in a kilobyte, a megabyte or a gigabyte?
A kilobyte (KB) = 1024 bytes, a megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes, and a gigabyte (GB) = 1,073,741,824 bytes. A 5 MB file is 5,242,880 bytes.
How do I convert seconds to minutes, hours, days and weeks?
1 minute = 60 seconds, 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 1 day = 86,400 seconds, 1 week = 604,800 seconds. Example: 7200 seconds = 2 hours.
What is the difference between the metric and imperial systems?
The metric system (meter, kilogram, liter) is used in most of the world, including Romania; the imperial system (inch, foot, mile, pound, gallon) in the US and partly the UK.
Why are there small rounding differences?
Conversion factors have many decimals; the result is rounded for display. For maximum precision, use the full calculated value.
