## How the conversion works

The relationship is ft = nm × 3.280839895 × 10^-9. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes. The figure is exact rather than approximate: since the international yard and pound agreement of 1959, an inch is defined as exactly 25.4 millimetres and a pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, and every other imperial and US customary unit here is derived from those two.

> Foot: Plural is "feet".

## Common questions

### How many feet are in one nanometer?

One nanometer equals 3.281 × 10^-9 feet. ft = nm × 3.280839895 × 10^-9.

### How do you convert nanometers to feet?

Use ft = nm × 3.280839895 × 10^-9. So 10 nm is 3.281 × 10^-8 ft.

### How many nanometers are in one foot?

One foot equals 304,800,000 nanometers, which is the reverse of the conversion above.

### Is there more than one kind of foot?

Plural is "feet".
