Conversion Definitions

The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between nanometers and hectometers.

What is a nanometer (nm)?

A nanometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for nanometer is nm. There are 100,000,000,000 nanometers in a hectometer. The International spelling for this unit is nanometre.

What is a hectometer (hm)?

A hectometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for hectometer is hm. There are 0.00000000001 hectometers in a nanometer. The International spelling for this unit is hectometre.

Conversion Formula

Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.

The formula to convert from nm to hm is:

hm = nm ÷ 100,000,000,000

Conversion Example

Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from nanometers to hectometers (nm to hm).

Nanometer to Hectometer Conversion Example

Task: Convert 450,000 nanometers to hectometers (show work)

Formula:
nm ÷ 100,000,000,000 = hm

Calculations:
450,000 nm ÷ 100,000,000,000 = 0.0000045 hm

Result:
450,000 nm is equal to 0.0000045 hm
