Convert hectometer to micron
Please provide values below to convert hectometer [hm] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to hectometer.
1 hm = 100000000 µ. To convert hectometer to micron, multiply the value by 100000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 1e-08 hm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hm = 100000000 µ
- 1 µ = 1e-08 hm
- 10 hm = 1000000000 µ
- 100 hm = 10000000000 µ
How to Convert Hectometer to Micron
1 hm = 100000000 µ
Example: convert 15 hm to µ:
15 hm = 15 × 100000000 µ = 1500000000 µ

Hectometer
A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The hectometer is not a widely used unit of length in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes used in surveying and for marking distances on highways in some countries.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
Frequently Asked Questions
