How to convert rods to fermis
1 rod is equal to 5.0292 × 10¹⁵ fermis, and 1 fermi is equal to 1.988387815 × 10⁻¹⁶ rods. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
fermis = rods × 5.0292 × 10¹⁵
fermis = rods ÷ 1.988387815 × 10⁻¹⁶Example: convert 1 rd to fm: 1 × 5.0292 × 10¹⁵ = 5.0292 × 10¹⁵ fm.

About the rod
The rod is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), or a quarter of a chain. It was used in land surveying and is still used to measure canoe portages.
