Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 900000: 17 × 900000 ≈ 15,300,000 um, against the exact 15,544,800 um (1.6% 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 yard is bigger than a micrometer, so the number of micrometers must come out larger than the number of yards. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
