Convert caliber to big point

Learn how to convert 1 caliber to big point step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(caliber\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(big \text{ } point\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(meter\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(caliber\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}\left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(big \text{ } point\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0}\left(m\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(caliber\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(big \text{ } point\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(meter\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(m\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 2.54 \times 10^{-4}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(2.54 \times 10^{-4} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0} = 2.54 \times 10^{-4}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{999999.0}{352.777425}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{352.777425}{999999.0} \times \dfrac{999999.0}{352.777425} = 2.54 \times 10^{-4} \times \dfrac{999999.0}{352.777425}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{352.777425}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{999999.0}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{999999.0}} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{352.777425}}} = 2.54 \times 10^{-4} \times \dfrac{999999.0}{352.777425}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{2.54 \times 10^{-4} \times 999999.0}{352.777425}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 0.72 = 7.2 \times 10^{-1}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(caliber\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 7.2 \times 10^{-1}}\left(big \text{ } point\right)\)
