Quick Mental Math
To estimate in your head, divide millimeters by 25 instead of 25.4. It is quick and slightly high: 200 mm ÷ 25 = 8 in, while the more precise answer is about 7.87 in (7.8740 in to 4 places). For anything that has to fit, use the decimal value.
Handy Reference Points
- 25.4 mm = exactly 1 inch
- 100 mm ≈ 3.94 inches (just under 4″)
- 300 mm ≈ 11.81 inches (just under 1 foot)
- 1 foot = exactly 304.8 mm
