Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 5e-7: 16 × 5e-7 ≈ 0.000008 nmi, against the exact 0.00000864 nmi (7.4% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A millimeter is smaller than a nautical mile, so the number of nautical miles must come out smaller than the number of millimeters. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
