To convert 21 millimeters into meters we have to multiply 21 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

21 mm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 21 mm × 0.001 m

L_(m) = 0.021 m

The final result is:

21 mm → 0.021 m

We conclude that 21 millimeters is equivalent to 0.021 meters:

21 millimeters = 0.021 meters
