Common Conversions at a Glance
- Length: 1 mile = 1.60934 km | 1 inch = 2.54 cm | 1 foot = 0.3048 m
- Weight: 1 lb = 0.4536 kg | 1 oz = 28.35 g | 1 stone = 14 lbs
- Temperature: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9 | °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
- Volume: 1 gallon = 3.785 L | 1 fl oz = 29.57 mL | 1 cup = 236.6 mL
- Speed: 1 mph = 1.609 km/h | 1 knot = 1.852 km/h
Example Conversion
Convert 75°F to Celsius:
- °C = (75 − 32) × 5/9 = 43 × 0.5556 = 23.9°C
Convert 10 miles to kilometers:
- 10 × 1.60934 = 16.09 km
Why Use This Calculator?
Unit confusion is everywhere — recipes in metric when you use cups, tire pressure in bar vs. PSI, blueprints in feet while you think in meters. Having one reliable converter bookmarked saves time every day.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing mass and weight — scientifically, mass (kg) and weight (force, Newtons) are different. In everyday use they're used interchangeably, but be precise in scientific contexts.
- Using approximate conversions in critical applications — for medical dosing or engineering, use the full decimal precision, not rounded shortcuts.
- Forgetting temperature is not linear — unlike length or weight, temperature scales (Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin) require a formula, not a simple multiplication factor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common unit conversion?
Temperature (Fahrenheit to Celsius) and length (miles to kilometers) are the most searched conversions globally.
How do I convert square feet to square meters?
Multiply by 0.0929. For example, 500 sq ft × 0.0929 = 46.45 square meters.
What is 100 kg in pounds?
100 kg × 2.2046 = 220.46 lbs.
How do I convert liters to gallons?
1 liter = 0.2642 gallons (US). So 10 liters = 2.642 gallons.
What is 0 Kelvin in Celsius?
0 K = −273.15°C. This is absolute zero — the coldest theoretical temperature possible.
