Convert cm to inches — conversion of measurement units

›› Definition: Centimeter

A centimetre (American spelling centimeter, symbol cm) is a unit of length that is equal to one hundreth of a metre, the current SI base unit of length. A centimetre is part of a metric system. It is the base unit in the centimetre-gram-second system of units. A corresponding unit of area is the square centimetre. A corresponding unit of volume is the cubic centimetre.
The centimetre is a now a non-standard factor, in that factors of 103 are often preferred. However, it is practical unit of length for many everyday measurements. A centimetre is approximately the width of the fingernail of an adult person.

How many Centimeters in one Inch?

According to the International System of Units there are exactly 2.54 centimeters in one inch. Both the centimeter and the inch are used to measure length, but while the former is used in most countries in the world, the inch is used in a couple of countries that still follow the imperial system of measurements, which also includes the foot, yard, mile, etc. Both units are of comparable magnitude, so they are used to measure similarly-sized objects or where similar precision is required.

The symbol of centimeters is «cm», while for inch it is «in», or sometimes double quotes, e.g. 10″ means 10 inches. You can use our in to cm converter to verify how many centimeters fit correspond to one inch.

›› Definition: Inch

An inch is the name of a unit of length in a number of different systems, including Imperial units, and United States customary units. There are 36 inches in a yard and 12 inches in a foot. The inch is usually the universal unit of measurement in the United States, and is widely used in the United Kingdom, and Canada, despite the introduction of metric to the latter two in the 1960s and 1970s, respectively. The inch is still commonly used informally, although somewhat less, in other Commonwealth nations such as Australia; an example being the long standing tradition of measuring the height of newborn children in inches rather than centimetres. The international inch is defined to be equal to 25.4 millimeters.

Inches

An inch is a unit of linear length measure equal to 1/₁₂ of a foot or 1/₃₆ of a yard.
Because the international yard is legally defined to be equal to exactly 0.9144 meters, one inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.

The inch is a US customary and imperial unit of length. Inches can be abbreviated as in; for example, 1 inch can be written as 1 in.

Inches can also be denoted using the ″ symbol, otherwise known as a double-prime.
Often a double-quote («) is used instead of a double-prime for convenience.
A double-prime is commonly used to express 1 in as 1″.

The standard ruler has 12″, and is a common measuring tool for measuring inches.
They are also often measured using tape measures, which commonly come in lengths from 6′ — 35′.
Other types of measuring devices include scales, calipers, measuring wheels, micrometers, yardsticks, and even lasers.

Перевод дюймов в сантиметры и миллиметры (см и мм)

Перевод дробных дюймов и таблица

Но размер — это не всегда целое число. Часто имеются десятые части того же дюйма. Не сказать, что это сильно усложняет задачу перевода в сантиметры. Просто таблиц с такими значениями вы не найдете — слишком они большие. Так что, однозначно, придется считать самому. А действовать нужно точно также: умножить размер в дюймах на 2,54 см.

• 1,2″ переводим в сантиметры — 1,2″ * 2,54 см = 3,048 см или почти 3,05 см (это после округления);
• 5,7″ — 5,7″ * 2,54 см = 14,478 см. После округления получаем 14,5 см.

Если размер указан обычными дробями, перевод чуть сложнее. Надо 2,54 см разделить на знаменатель (это та цифра, которая внизу) и умножить на числитель (цифра в верхней части дроби). Рассмотрим примеры. Так будет понятнее.

• 3/5″ переводим в сантиметры так: 2,54 см / 5 * 3 = 1,524 см. То есть 3/5 дюйма это 1,52 см.
• 1/4″ в сантиметрах это 2,54 / 4 * 1 = 0,635 см, то есть это 6,4 мм.

Если размер указан в виде правильной дроби, то есть, имеется целая и дробная часть — 2 1/3″ или 5 3/8″, чтобы сказать сколько это в сантиметрах, целую часть умножаем на 2,54 , а с дробной поступаем как описано выше. Рассмотрим примеры:

• 3 4/7″ надо перевести в сантиметры. Сначала переводим целую часть. Это 3″. Умножаем эту цифру на 2,54 см. 3″ * 2.54 см = 7,62 см. Далее переводим дробную часть: 4/7″ это 2,54 / 7 * 4 = 1,45 см. А теперь оба результата складываем: 7,62 см + 1,45 см = 9,07 см. То есть, 3 4/7″ равны 9,07 см.
• Переведем еще 2 2/3 дюйма. Целая часть — 2″ * 2,54 см = 5,08 см. Дробная 2/3″ — 2,54 см /3 * 2 = 1,69 см. Всего получаем: 5,08 см + 1,69 см = 6,77 см.

Все эти операции несложны. Нужен будет калькулятор, который есть на любом телефоне. Если считать даже на калькуляторе не хочется, есть таблицы, в которых указаны наиболее ходовые значения. Их тоже можно сохранить на телефоне или иметь в виде распечатки. В общем, как вам удобно.

Дюймы (инчи, inches), обозначение

Часть мира измеряет размеры в дюймах и футах. Вообще-то, обычно в ходу и метры, сантиметры, миллиметры тоже, но более привычны дюймы. Именно такие единицы измерения в США, Канаде, Великобритании. А за ними подтягиваются остальные. Так повелось, например, что диагонали телевизоров, размеры экранов в смартфонах, диаметры труб, размеры обуви (и много чего еще) указываются именно в дюймах. Так что приходится задумываться о том, как перевести дюймы в сантиметры, метры или миллиметры.

Перевод дюймов в сантиметры (см) — элементарная задача. Надо просто запомнить, что 1 дюйм — это 2,54 см

Сначала поговорим о том, как эти дюймы обозначаются. На английском — это inch. Если их (дюймов) много, пишут inches. В сокращенном варианте ставят только первые две буквы in. Это встречается в тексте. Есть и графическое изображение — это две черточки вверху возле цифры. Например: 3″, 5,2″. Читается это как 3 дюйма, пять и два дюйма.

Difference between Inches and Centimeters

The inch is an old unit, used for the first time sometime in the 7 century in Europe, while officially defined in 1324. Different standards were used in different places, but nowadays it is defined in terms of meters and centimeters. Currently inches are mostly used in the US, the UK, Canada, and Japan. Since these countries originated a lot of technological innovations, the inch finds application in electronics – display screen sizes are predominantly expressed in inches.

The centimeter is derived from the base measurement unit established by the International Organization for Standardization – the meter. Its prefix ‘centi’ indicates that it is 1/100 of a meter. Therefore, the cm can be defined as being equal to the path length that light travels in vacuum in 1/29,979,245,800 of a second. A centimeter is equal to precisely 0.3937 of an inch, or 3887/9873 as a fraction. Centimeters are used when relatively good precision is required: in construction, engineering, architecture, and for certain scientific purposes. One will often themselves using an inch to cm converter if they engage in these disciplines on a worldwide scope.

Most rulers have both cm and in, featured on opposite sides.
