How the conversion works
- Divide by 25.4. Dividing by 25.4 converts millimeters to inches because one inch is defined as exactly 25.4 mm. For 15 mm: 15 ÷ 25.4 = 0.590551 inches, a value that keeps repeating past six decimal places.
- Round to a fraction. Multiply 0.590551 by 64 to get 37.795, then round to the nearest whole number, 38. That gives the unsimplified fraction 38/64.
- Simplify and read the answer. 38 and 64 share a greatest common divisor of 2, so 38/64 reduces to 19/32 in. At the coarser 1/16 in scale, the same 15 mm value rounds instead to 9/16 in.
