Useful next steps

How Mm to inches works

This converter turns millimeters into inches as you type. An inch is exactly 25.4 mm, so the tool divides your value by 25.4 and rounds the result to 12 significant digits. It accepts decimals, negative values and scientific notation such as 1e3. The answer is in decimal inches, which suits engineering drawings and drill or screw sizes, but it does not convert to fractions such as 1/8 inch or to feet and inches for you.

Before you start

Confirm your measurement is in millimeters and not centimeters, which differ by a factor of 10. Use a period as the decimal point.

A worked example

Entering 10 mm returns 0.393700787402 inches, and entering 25.4 mm returns exactly 1 inch.

Common questions

How many millimeters are in an inch?

Exactly 25.4. The international inch is defined as 2.54 centimeters, which is 25.4 millimeters. To go from millimeters to inches, divide by 25.4. To go from inches to millimeters, multiply by 25.4.

How do I convert mm to a fraction of an inch?

Convert to decimal inches first, then multiply the decimal by the denominator you want and round. For 10 mm, the tool shows 0.3937 inches. 0.3937 × 16 is about 6.3, so 10 mm is close to 6/16, or 3/8 inch, and slightly larger.

Is 1 mm the same as 1/16 inch?

No. One millimeter is about 0.03937 inches, while 1/16 inch is 0.0625 inches, about 1.59 mm. A common mistake is treating the smallest marks on a metric ruler and an imperial ruler as equal. A sixteenth of an inch is over one and a half millimeters.
