Square millimeter to square micrometer converter (mm2 to um2)

Conversion Formula

1 mm2 = 1,000,000 um2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Millimeter = 1.00e-6 square meters
   1 Square Micrometer = 1.00e-12 square meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mm2 = (1.00e-6 m²) / (1.00e-12 m²/um2) = 1,000,000 um2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mm2 by 1,000,000 to get the equivalent in um2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mm2 to um2:

5 mm2 × 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 um2
