Rounding and precision rules
- Convr calculates first and rounds the displayed result only once, at the final step.
- The default is a maximum of 6 decimal places; trailing zeros are removed.
- Very small values that would appear as zero, and values of 10¹² or more, use scientific notation.
- Display precision is not measurement uncertainty. For scientific, engineering, or regulated work, retain only the digits justified by the source measurement.
Calculation
Foot to Millimeter formula
mm = ft × 304.8
Calculations retain full precision and the result is rounded only for display.
Worked example
For 10 ft, the result is 3,048 mm. Substitute 10 ft into the formula to obtain 3,048 mm.
A numerical value expressed in millimeter is usually larger than the same measurement expressed in foot, because 1 ft equals 304.8 mm.
