How to calculate
Converts feet (ft) to miles (mi) and back, with the exact unit definitions.
Example with the default inputs (Feet (ft) 1): 1 ft = 0.000189 mi.
Formula: mi = ft × 0.000189393939394 (the same as ft ÷ 5280)
- 1 foot = 0.000189393939394 miles, from the exact definitions in NIST SP 811.
- Exact on the typed decimals: at most 6 decimal places (6 significant digits below 0.0001), rounded half up; an answer of 1 billion or more shows at most 15 significant digits.
