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 800 millimeters into meters we have to multiply 800 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

800 mm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 800 mm × 0.001 m

L_(m) = 0.8 m

The final result is:

800 mm → 0.8 m

We conclude that 800 millimeters is equivalent to 0.8 meters:

800 millimeters = 0.8 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 1.25 × 800 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 800 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.25 meters.

Approximate result

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

800 mm ≅ 0.8 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately one point two five times eight hundred millimeters.
