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 240 millimeters into meters we have to multiply 240 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

240 mm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 240 mm × 0.001 m

L_(m) = 0.24 m

The final result is:

240 mm → 0.24 m

We conclude that 240 millimeters is equivalent to 0.24 meters:

240 millimeters = 0.24 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 4.1666666666667 × 240 millimeters.
