Foot Conversion Table

This page provides conversion factors and formulas for conversion of length expressed in feet to other units - micrometer, millimeter, centimeter, decimeter, meter, thou, inch, yard, mile, etc.

How to convert units:
In order to covert a measurement in feet to one of the units listed in the table below, simply multiply the length value in feet by the conversion factor value listed in the corresponding row. Alternatively, use the formula provided in the rightmost column.

In a situation where a direct conversion factor is not available, the following general unit conversion approach can be used.
Let's say, we have a value Lu1 expressed in one unit and would like to convert it to another unit - Lu2. We also know the basic correlation between the units: Bu1 is equal to Bu2.
Then Lu2 can be calculated as: Lu2 = Lu1 × Bu2 ÷ Bu1

For example:
We have Lft = 5 ft and would like to find an equivalent in inches - Lin. The correlation between units is: 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, which means: Bft = 1 ft and Bin = 12 in
Using the formula listed above, we can find the length in inches: Lin = 5 ft × 12 in ÷ 1 ft = 60 in
