Millimetre and Mile
Millimetres are what engineering drawings and datasheets use, because a whole number of them is precise enough for almost anything made by machine and avoids a decimal point that can be lost in a photocopy.
A mile is 1,760 yards — a number that comes from a Roman thousand paces, adjusted by an Elizabethan statute to fit the furlong. It is exactly 1,609.344 metres.

Convert mm to mi: common questions
How many miles are in a millimetre?
Exactly 6.21371192237e-7. One millimetre is 6.21371192237e-7 miles, and the box above will do it for any figure you type.
Is this conversion exact, or rounded?
The ratio is exact. It is not a rounded constant typed into a table: it is derived from the definitions of the two units, so it agrees with any other correct converter to as many digits as you care to compare.
Why does another converter show a slightly different number?
Almost always rounding rather than disagreement. Many converters cut the answer to two or four decimals, and some carry a factor that was rounded before the multiplication rather than after. The figures here are computed from the exact definitions and only rounded on the way to the screen.
Where these figures come from
The claims this page makes about length units are checkable, and these are the documents that settle them.
How this page works
The factor is a constant in the page and the arithmetic is four operations, so nothing is sent anywhere and nothing needs to be. The number you type never leaves the browser — there is no request for it to travel in.
