Conversion Formula
The conversion from nanometers to feet is done by multiplying the value in nm by the factor 3.28084 x 10-9. This factor is derived from the fact that 1 nm equals 3.28084 feet divided by 109. For example, 6 nm times 3.28084 x 10-9 gives the number of feet.
Mathematically, it’s: 6 nm x (1 ft / 3.28084 x 109 nm) = 6 x 3.28084 x 10-9 ft, which simplifies to approximately 0.00001968 ft.
