Frequently asked questions

Why does the number get smaller?

The destination unit is larger than the source unit. Keep the unit beside the result when comparing values from different reports or systems.

Does precision improve measurement accuracy?

No. Precision controls displayed decimal places. It cannot add accuracy to the source measurement. The calculator may round very small results to zero at its current display precision. This is a duration conversion and does not interpret calendar dates, time zones, or Unix timestamps.
