Converting from Nano (n) to Mega (M) | SI prefixes

What is Nano (n)

Nano is an SI prefix symbolized by the letter 'n' that represents a unit of measurement equal to one billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a base unit. In this case, nano indicates a factor of 10^(-9) or 0.000000001 in decimal form.

What is Mega (M)

Mega, on the other hand, is another SI prefix denoted by the capital letter 'M' which signifies a unit that is equivalent to one million (1,000,000) base units. Mega indicates a multiplication by a factor of 10^(6) or simply 1,000,000 in numerical form.

Conversion Formulas

When converting from nano to mega or vice versa, you can use the following conversion formulas:

1. Converting from nano (n) to mega (M):

   M=n×10−15

2. Converting from mega (M) to nano (n):

   n=M×1015

Examples

Let's consider some basic examples to illustrate these conversions:

1. Converting 5 nano (n) to mega (M):

   5n=5×10−15=0.000000000000005M

2. Converting 17 nano (n) to mega (M):

   17n=17×10−15=0.000000000000017M

3. Converting 11 mega (M) to nano (n):

   11M=11×1015=11000000000000000n

Conclusion:

Use this information as a reference when performing conversions between nano (n) and mega (M) units within the SI prefixes category. These formulas and examples can be helpful in accurately converting values from one unit to another.

Note: Standard conversion rates for nano and mega are as follows - 1 (n) = 0.000000000000001 (M) and 1 (M) = 1000000000000000 (n).
