Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 300000: 4 × 300000 ≈ 1,200,000 um, against the exact 1,219,200 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 foot is bigger than a micrometer, so the number of micrometers must come out larger than the number of feet. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
