Metric vs. Imperial System

The world is primarily divided into two systems of measurement for length and distance: the Metric system and the Imperial system.

The Metric System (SI)

Used by almost every country in the world (except the USA, Liberia, and Myanmar). It is based on the meter and uses decimals.

The Imperial System

Used primarily in the United States and partially in the UK. It is based on historical units like the human foot.

Common Conversions

Inches to Centimeters

1 Inch = 2.54 Centimeters. This is an exact definition.

Miles to Kilometers

1 Mile ≈ 1.609 Kilometers. A 5K run is approximately 3.1 miles.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The symbol for inch is typically a double prime (e.g., 5″) or simply "in". In informal contexts, a double quote mark is often used (e.g., 5").

Our calculator typically outputs results up to 4-6 decimal places for high precision, but trims unnecessary zeros for readability.
