How many nanometers (nm) are in a meter (m)? What is the formula for how to convert nanometers to meters (nm to m)?
1 nanometer (nm) = 0.000000001 meter (m)
So we can say that there is 0.000000001 meter in 1 nanometer.
This means that the multiplication conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in a nanometer unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a meter unit of measurement is 0.000000001.
Inversely (or reciprocally),
1 meter (m) = 1,000,000,000 nanometers (nm)
So we can say that there are 1,000,000,000 nanometers in 1 meter.
This means that the division conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in a nanometer unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a meter unit of measurement is 1,000,000,000.
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 nanometers to an equivalent quantity of length expressed in meters (nm to m). Both formulas will yield the same result. The formulas are:
m = nm × 0.000000001 → This is the formula based on the multiplication conversion factor.
and
m = nm ÷ 1,000,000,000 → This is the formula based on the division conversion factor.
For example, if you have a length of 9,500,000 nanometers that you want to convert to meters, you would use either of the two formulas as follows:
m = 9,500,000 nm × 0.000000001 = 0.0095 m
m = 9,500,000 nm ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 0.0095 m
So, the result is the same using either formula, which is 0.0095 meter.

What is a nanometer (nm)?
Definition of nanometer: A nanometer is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one billionth of a meter (10^-9 m). It is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic scale, such as wavelengths of light, and in nanotechnologies.
The abbreviation for nanometer is nm. The single Unicode character ㎚ (U+339A) represents the 2-character Latin abbreviation for nanometer. The Windows Alt code for this character ㎚ is Alt + 13210.
What is a meter (m)?
Definition of meter: The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), commonly known as the metric system. A meter is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. It is widely used globally as the standard unit for measuring length.
The abbreviation for meter is m.
