What is a picometer (pm)?

A picometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for picometer is pm. There are 1,000 picometers in a nanometer. The International spelling for this unit is picometre.

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 0.001 nanometers in a picometer. The International spelling for this unit is nanometre.

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 pm to nm is:

nm = pm ÷ 1,000

Conversion Example

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

Picometer to Nanometer Conversion Example

Task: Convert 7,500 picometers to nanometers (show work)

Formula:
pm ÷ 1,000 = nm

Calculations:
7,500 pm ÷ 1,000 = 7.5 nm

Result:
7,500 pm is equal to 7.5 nm
