How to convert megaparsecs to chains
1 megaparsec is equal to 1.533880926 × 10²¹ chains, and 1 chain is equal to 6.519410881 × 10⁻²² megaparsecs. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
chains = megaparsecs × 1.533880926 × 10²¹
chains = megaparsecs ÷ 6.519410881 × 10⁻²²Example: convert 1 Mpc to ch: 1 × 1.533880926 × 10²¹ = 1.533880926 × 10²¹ ch.

About the megaparsec
A megaparsec is one million parsecs (about 3.26 million light-years). It's used for distances between galaxies and in the Hubble constant (km/s/Mpc).

About the chain
Gunter's chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), equal to 100 links or 4 rods. A cricket pitch is one chain long, and an acre is 10 square chains.
