  • calculate 1 inch using calculator InchPro from our software collection for offline converting units;
  • apply arithmetic calculations and conversions for 1 inch outlined in this article.

To indicate inches, we will use the abbreviation "in" to indicate meters we will use the abbreviation "m". All options to convert "in" to "m" we will look more detail in individual topics below. So, we're starting explore all avenues of transformation one inch and conversions between inches and meters.

Convert 1 inch to m by online conversion

To convert 1 inch into meters we consider using the online converter on the web page. The online converter has very simple interface and will help us quickly convert our inches. The online inch converter has an adaptive shape for different devices and therefore for monitors it looks like the left and right input fields but on tablets and mobile phones it looks like the top and bottom input fields. If you want convert any inch values, you must only enter required value in the left (or top) input field and automatically you get the result in the right (or bottom) field. Under each field you see a more detailed result of the calculation and the coefficient of 0.0254 which is used in the calculations. The big green string, under the input fields - "1 Inch = 0.0254 Meters" further enhances and shows final result of the conversion. Calculator for converting units of measurement works symmetrically in both directions. If you enter any value in any field, you will get the result in the opposite field. Clicking on the arrow icons between the input fields you can swap the fields and perform other calculations. We are all made for easily converting any values between inches and m.

Let's look at the result of calculate for the current value 1 inch

Result converting 1 inch to m = 0.0254 meters

Results conversion 1 inch into meters. 1 inch to "m" is equal to 0.0254 meters.


If you came to this page, you already see the result work of the online calculator. In the left (or top) field you see the value of 1 "in" on the right (or bottom) box you see the value of result is equal to 0.0254 "m". Write briefly: 1 "in" = 0.0254 "m"

Convert 1 inch in m by conversion tables

We have briefly reviewed how to use the unit Converter on this page, but this is only part of the features of the page service. We made an interesting possibility to compute all possible values for units of measure in the lower tables. These tables are used to convert basic units of measurement: Metric conversion chart, US Survey conversion chart, International conversion chart, Astronomical conversion chart. Please, find these 4 tables at the bottom of this page they have the headers:

  • All conversions of 1 inch in the Metric System Units
  • All conversions of 1 inch in the US Survey Units
  • All conversions of 1 inch in the International Units
  • All conversions of 1 inch in the Astronomical Units
If you enter a test number in any field of web calculator (field of inches or meters it doesn't matter), for example 1 as it is now, you not only get the result in 0.0254 meters but also a huge list of computed values for all unit types in the lower tables. Without doing your own search and making the transition to other pages of the website, you can use our conversion tables to calculate all the possible results for main units. Try delete and again entering into the calculator a value of 1 inch and you will see that all the conversion results in the lower tables will are recalculated for 1 (in). The calculated data in the conversions tables change dynamically and all transformations are performed synchronously with converting inches in the page calculator.

How many meters are in 1 inch?

To answer this question, we start with a brief definition of inch and meter, and their purpose. The inch and meter units of length which can be converted one to another using a conversion factor which is equal to 0.0254. This coefficient answers the question how many meters are equivalent to one inch. The value of this multiplier determines the basic value to calculate all other lengths, sizes and other transformations for these units (inch and meter), it is enough to know the value, i.e. to remember that 1 inch = 0.0254 (m). Knowing the number of meters in one inch by simple multiplication we can calculate any values. Let's do a simple calculation using the multiplication:

1″ × 0.0254 = 0.0254 (m)

Thus it is seen that after multiplying by the coefficient we get the following relationship:

1 Inch = 0.0254 Meters

How much is 1 inch in meters?

We have already seen how to convert these two values and how change inches to meters. So in summary, you can write all possible results that have the same meaning.

1 inch to m = 0.0254 m
1 inch in m = 0.0254 m
1 inch into m = 0.0254 m
1 in = 0.0254 m
1″ = 0.0254 m
1″ is 0.0254 m
one inch = 0.0254 m

How to convert 1 inch into meters? All rules and methods.

To convert 1 inch into meters we can use many ways:

  • calculation using the formula;
  • calculation using the proportions;
  • calculation using the online converter of the current page;
  • calculation using the offline calculator "InchPro Decimal".

Calculating 1 inch to m formula for lengths and values.

In the calculations for inches and meters, we will use the formula presented below that would quickly get the desired result.

    Y (in) × 0.0254 = X (m)
    Y - value of inches
    X - result in meters

That is, you need to remember that 1 inch is equal 0.0254 meters, and when converting inches just multiply the number of inches (in this case 1 inch) by a factor of 0.0254. For example, we transform the set of values 1.0″, 2.0″, 3.0″, 4.0″, 5.0″ into meters and get the result in the following examples:

    1.0 (in) × 0.0254 = 0.0254 (m)
    2.0 (in) × 0.0254 = 0.0508 (m)
    3.0 (in) × 0.0254 = 0.0762 (m)
    4.0 (in) × 0.0254 = 0.1016 (m)
    5.0 (in) × 0.0254 = 0.127 (m)

In all variants we multiplied the all inches in range from 1.0″ to 5.0″ with the same ratio of 0.0254 and got the correct results in calculations.

The calculation using mathematical proportions to convert 1 inch into meters

To calculate the proportions you need to know the reference value in meters for 1 inch and according to the rules of arithmetic we can calculate any value in meters for any length in inches. See the next examples. We form the proportion for 3 values our inches  1.0″, 2.0″, 3.0″ and calculate results values in meters:

    1 (in) — 0.0254 (m)
    1.0 (in) — X (m)
    Solve the above proportion for X to obtain:
    X = 1.0(in) × 0.0254(m) ÷
                            1(in) = 0.0254(m) 
1 (in) — 0.0254 (m) 2.0 (in) — X (m) Solve the above proportion for X to obtain: X = 2.0(in) × 0.0254(m) ÷ 1(in) = 0.0508(m)
1 (in) — 0.0254 (m) 3.0 (in) — X (m) Solve the above proportion for X to obtain: X = 3.0(in) × 0.0254(m) ÷ 1(in) = 0.0762(m)

All proportions used reference value 1 inch = 0.0254 m

Calculation of values using inch online calculator on the page

You can use our basic universal online converter on the current web page and convert any your length dimensions and distances between inches and meters in any directions free and fast.

Currently, the field for inches contains the number 1 (in) you can change it. Just enter any number into field for inches (for example any value from our set: 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 inches or any other value) and get the fast result into field for meters. How to use the inch online calculator you can more detail read at this link manual for the calculator.

For example, we take the 11 values into inches and will try to calculate the result values in meters. Also, we will use the web calculator (you can find it at the top of this page). In the set up a table in the left margin we write the value in inches in the right margin you see the values that you should obtain after calculation. You can check it right now, without leaving the site and make sure that the calculator works correctly and quickly. In all calculations, we used the ratio 0.0254 which helps us to get the desired values of computation results in meters. Please, see the results in the next table:
