Unit Converter

Step-by-step solution

1. 1

   Set up the conversion

   Convert 1 m into ft.

   $$1~\mathrm{m} \rightarrow ?~\mathrm{ft}$$
2. 2

   Conversion factors through the base unit

   Both units are exact fractions of the base unit m — international definitions leave no rounding.

   $$\frac{1~\mathrm{m}}{1~\mathrm{ft}} = \frac{1}{\frac{381}{1250}}~\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{m}}$$

   • 1 m = 1 m
   • 1 ft = 381/1250 m
3. 3

   Multiply by the exact factor

   Multiplying by the factor ratio gives the exact result (3.280839895).

   $$1 \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{381}{1250}} = \frac{1250}{381}$$
4. 4

   Result

   1 m = 3.280839895 ft.

   $$1~\mathrm{m} = \frac{1250}{381}~\mathrm{ft}$$
