To convert 15.7 millimeters into meters we have to multiply 15.7 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

15.7 mm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 15.7 mm × 0.001 m

L_(m) = 0.0157 m

The final result is:

15.7 mm → 0.0157 m

We conclude that 15.7 millimeters is equivalent to 0.0157 meters:

15.7 millimeters = 0.0157 meters
