Feet (ft) by meters (m)
How to calculate
Converts meters (m) to feet (ft) and back, with the exact unit definitions.
Example with the default inputs (Meters (m) 1): 1 m = 3.28084 ft.
Formula: ft = m × 3.28083989501 (the same as m ÷ 0.3048)
- 1 meter = 3.28083989501 feet, 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.
