Meters to micrometers conversion table shows the most common values for the quick reference. Alternatively, you may use the converter to convert any other values.
1 Meter = 1 000 000 Micrometers
There are 1 000 000 (one million) micrometers in a meter because there are 10 decimeters in a meter, 10 centimeters in a decimeter, 10 millimeters in a centimeter and 1000 micrometers in a millimeter, that makes 10 * 10 * 10 * 1000 = 1 000 000 micrometers in a meter.
