Convert exameter to chain
Please provide values below to convert exameter [Em] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to exameter.
1 Em = 4.9710e+16 ch. To convert exameter to chain, multiply the value by 4.9710e+16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 2.0117e-17 Em). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Em = 4.9710e+16 ch
- 1 ch = 2.0117e-17 Em
- 10 Em = 4.9710e+17 ch
- 100 Em = 4.9710e+18 ch
How to Convert Exameter to Chain
1 Em = 4.97096953789867e+16 ch
Example: convert 15 Em to ch:
15 Em = 15 × 4.97096953789867e+16 ch = 7.45645430684801e+17 ch

Exameter
An exameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "exa-" for 10^18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The exameter is used in astronomy to measure the vast distances between galaxies.
Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
