yd to nm Converter - Yard to Nanometer

Conversion derivation

Express both yd and nm in the same base unit m (meter), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite yd in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{yd}=0.9144\mathrm{m}$$
2. 2

   Rewrite nm in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{nm}=1\times 10^{-9}\mathrm{m}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{yd}& =\frac{0.9144\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}{1\times 10^{-9}\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}\times 1\mathrm{nm}\\ & =\frac{0.9144}{1\times 10^{-9}}\mathrm{nm}\\ & =914,400,000\mathrm{nm}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{nm}& =\frac{1\times 10^{-9}\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}{0.9144\cancel{\mathrm{m}}}\times 1\mathrm{yd}\\ & =\frac{1\times 10^{-9}}{0.9144}\mathrm{yd}\\ & =1.0936133\times 10^{-9}\mathrm{yd}\end{array}$$
