Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.000001: 8 × 0.000001 ≈ 0.000008 yd, against the exact 0.00000875 yd (8.6% 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 micrometer is smaller than a yard, so the number of yards must come out smaller than the number of micrometers. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
