How to convert femtometers to nanometers
1 femtometer is equal to 0.000001 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 1,000,000 femtometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = femtometers × 0.000001
nanometers = femtometers ÷ 1,000,000Example: convert 1 fm to nm: 1 × 0.000001 = 0.000001 nm.

About the femtometer
A femtometer is 10⁻¹⁵ meters, the scale of atomic nuclei. A proton has a radius of about 0.84 fm.
Symbol: fm · 1 fm = 1 × 10⁻¹⁵ m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It's used for wavelengths of light (visible light is about 380–750 nm), molecules and chip manufacturing processes.
Symbol: nm · 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m · Category: Metric (SI)
