To convert meters to millimeters, multiply the length value by 1,000, because one meter equals 1,000 millimeters.
The formula is:
millimeters = meters × 1000.
For example, 2 meters = 2 × 1000 = 2000 millimeters. This simple multiplication makes it easy to switch between the two metric units when measuring length or distance.
