How the conversion works
- Divide by 25.4. Since one inch equals exactly 25.4 mm, dividing by 25.4 converts any millimeter figure to inches. For 20 mm: 20 ÷ 25.4 = 0.787402 inches, a decimal that keeps repeating past the sixth digit.
- Round to a fraction. Multiply 0.787402 by 64 to get 50.394, then round to the nearest whole number, 50. That gives the unreduced fraction 50/64.
- Simplify and read the answer. 50 and 64 share a greatest common divisor of 2, so 50/64 simplifies to 25/32 in. At 1/16 in precision the same value rounds instead to 13/16 in, which is why both fractions appear on different reference charts.
