Convert nanometer to femtometer
Please provide values below to convert nanometer [nm] to femtometer [fm], or Convert femtometer to nanometer.
1 nm = 1000000 fm. To convert nanometer to femtometer, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fm = 1e-06 nm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nm = 1000000 fm
- 1 fm = 1e-06 nm
- 10 nm = 10000000 fm
- 100 nm = 100000000 fm
How to Convert Nanometer to Femtometer
1 nm = 1000000 fm
Example: convert 15 nm to fm:
15 nm = 15 × 1000000 fm = 15000000 fm

Nanometer
A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term “nanometer” gained prominence in the late 20th century with the advent of nanotechnology and the development of microscopes capable of observing objects at that scale.
Current Use
The nanometer is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic and molecular scale. It is used to specify the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation near the visible part of the spectrum and in the field of nanotechnology.
Femtometer
A femtometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-15 meters. It is also known as a fermi.
History/Origin
The prefix "femto-" for 10^-15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964. The unit is also named after the physicist Enrico Fermi.
Current Use
The femtometer is primarily used in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei.
