How many meters (m) are in a nanometer (nm)? What is the formula for how to convert meters to nanometers (m to nm)?

1 meter (m) = 1,000,000,000 nanometers (nm)
So we can say that there is 1,000,000,000 nanometers in 1 meter.
This means that the multiplication conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in a meter unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a nanometer unit of measurement is 1,000,000,000.

Inversely (or reciprocally),

1 nanometer (nm) = 0.000000001 meter (m)
So we can say that there is 0.000000001 meter in 1 nanometer.
This means that the division conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in a meter unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a nanometer unit of measurement is 0.000000001.

Knowing this inverse mathematical relationship between the two conversion factors and their reciprocal operations, we can derive two formulas to calculate and convert a quantity of length expressed in meters to an equivalent quantity of length expressed in nanometers (m to nm). Both formulas will yield the same result. The formulas are:

nm = m × 1,000,000,000    → This is the formula based on the multiplication conversion factor.

and

nm = m ÷ 0.000000001    → This is the formula based on the division conversion factor.

For example, if you have a length of 3 meters that you want to convert to nanometers, you would use either of the two formulas as follows:

nm = 3 m × 1,000,000,000 = 3,000,000,000 nm
nm = 3 m ÷ 0.000000001 = 3,000,000,000 nm

So, the result is the same using either formula, which is 3,000,000,000 nanometers.
