The formulas for conversion are represented below:
µm = mm * 1000
Example: 30 Millimeters in Micrometers:
µm = mm * 1000
µm = 30 * 1000
µm = 30000
mm = µm / 1000
Example: 1.5 Micrometers in Millimeters:
mm = µm / 1000
mm = 1.5 / 1000
mm = 0.0015
Considering that 1 Millimeter is equivalent to 1000 Micrometers, you can use a rule of three to obtain that 100 Millimeters equals 100000 Micrometers.
1 mm - 1000 µm
100 mm - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x mm = 1000 * 100 µmmm
x = 100000 µm
If every 1000 Micrometers we have 1 Millimeter, just divide the number of Micrometers (100) by 1000, so you will obtain that 100 µm equals 0.1 mm. Observe the calculation below:
mm = µm / 1000
mm = 100 / 1000
mm = 0.1
