| 5 mm | 5,000 um |
| 10 mm | 10,000 um |
| 20 mm | 20,000 um |
| 50 mm | 50,000 um |
| 100 mm | 100,000 um |
| 300 mm | 300,000 um |

Converting the other way: micrometers to millimeters
millimeters = micrometers × 0.001. So 300,000 micrometers is back to 300 millimeters; one micrometer is 0.001 millimeters. See the micrometers to millimeters table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 1000: 300 × 1000 ≈ 300,000 um, against the exact 300,000 um (0.0% 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 bigger than a micrometer, so the number of micrometers must come out larger than the number of millimeters. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
About the units
Millimeter (mm) and micrometer (um) are both units of length. One millimeter equals 1,000 micrometers, and one micrometer equals 0.001 millimeters. Results on this page are rounded for display; the conversion itself uses the exact definitions.
Length conversions come up in DIY and building plans, running and cycling distances, maps, clothing sizes and travel between countries that use metric and imperial units.
