How to use this table

To convert, multiply the value you have by the factor shown. For example, to convert 5 miles to kilometers: 5 × 1.60934 = 8.047 km. Temperature conversions use the formula in the Factor column instead of a multiplier. Data storage SI prefixes are powers of 1,000; binary (KiB, MiB, GiB…) are powers of 1,024. Values marked exact are defined exactly by international standards — all others are rounded to 5–6 significant figures.
