How the Conversion Works
Using a Common Base Unit
To convert between any two units of time, the calculator uses a standard, two-step process with a common base unit. In this case, the base unit is nanoseconds.
- Convert to Nanoseconds: The initial value is first converted into its equivalent in nanoseconds. The calculator has a stored list of conversion factors (e.g., 1 second = 1,000,000,000 nanoseconds).
- Convert from Nanoseconds: This large number of nanoseconds is then converted to the target unit by dividing it by the target unit's nanosecond conversion factor.
Example Calculation
You are converting 1 Minute to Seconds.
- First, 1 Minute is converted to nanoseconds by multiplying by 60,000,000,000.
- The resulting value in nanoseconds is then divided by the factor for your target unit (1,000,000,000) to get the final result.
