Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 5e-10: 5,000 × 5e-10 ≈ 0.0000025 nmi, against the exact 0.0000027 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 micrometer is smaller than a nautical mile, so the number of nautical miles must come out smaller than the number of micrometers. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
