Tool Help

How precise is the conversion?

The converted answer is displayed to a precision of 9 significant figures

What does an answer that looks like 2.67e+16 mean?

These are standard form numbers, which are used when there too many zeros either size of the decimal point, therefore a length that is displayed as 2.67e+16 is short for 2,670,000,000,000,000,000 or 6.898e-8 is short for 0.00000006898.

Convert cable length to nautical miles

What is cable length? One cable is equal to how many nautical miles?

1 cable length (international) = 1/10 nautical mile (international)

It is an obsolete unit of length, this glossary of nautical measures explains a little of the history of the cable length.
