Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to meters is 0.001, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.001 meters:

1 mm = 0.001 m

To convert 1020 millimeters into meters we have to multiply 1020 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from millimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mm → 0.001 m

1020 mm → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 1020 mm × 0.001 m

L_(m) = 1.02 m

The final result is:

1020 mm → 1.02 m

We conclude that 1020 millimeters is equivalent to 1.02 meters:

1020 millimeters = 1.02 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.98039215686275 × 1020 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 1020 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.98039215686275 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand twenty millimeters is approximately one point zero two meters:

1020 mm ≅ 1.02 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point nine eight times one thousand twenty millimeters.
