A millimeter is a unit used to measure length.
The millimeter, or millimetre, is a multiple of the meter, which is the SI base unit for length. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. Millimeters can be abbreviated as mm; for example, 1 millimeter can be written as 1 mm.
Millimeters are often represented by the smallest ticks on most metric rulers. To get a reference point of the size, the thickness of a US dime is 1.35mm.[1]
How Long Is a Millimeter?
One millimeter is equal to one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a meter, which is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. One millimeter is equal to 0.0393701 inches.
How to Convert Millimeters
To convert millimeters to another unit of length, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[2]
You can find the conversion factors for millimeters in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the length measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
millimeters × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
