Millimeters to feet conversion: Divide the value in millimeters by 304.8 to get the equivalent in feet.
A millimeter (symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system that is equal to one-thousandth of a meter. It is a convenient unit for measuring very small distances and lengths.
The millimeter was introduced as part of the metric system in France during the late 18th century. The metric system was developed during the French Revolution to standardize measurements across the country, and the millimeter was adopted due to its practical application for small measurements.
Millimeters are widely used in many fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and construction, where precise measurements are crucial. They are also commonly used in everyday situations, such as measuring the thickness of materials or the dimensions of small objects.
A foot (symbol: ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. One foot is equal to 12 inches or 0.3048 meters.
The foot has been used as a unit of measurement in many cultures throughout history. It is believed to have originated from the average length of a human foot. The modern foot was standardized in the 1950s when the United States and countries of the Commonwealth of Nations agreed upon the international yard and pound agreement, defining the foot as exactly 0.3048 meters.
Feet are commonly used in the United States and a few other countries for measuring height, length, and distances in construction and real estate. It is also used in aviation to measure altitude.
To convert millimeters to feet, you divide the number of millimeters by 304.8. The formula is: [ \text{feet} = \text{millimeters} \div 304.8 ]

Divide the number of millimeters by 304.8 to get the equivalent feet.
Convert 2500 millimeters to feet.
[ 2500 \text{ millimeters} \div 304.8 = 8.2021 \text{ feet} ] Height Measurement: If an object is 1500 millimeters tall, to find the height in feet, you would divide 1500 by 304.8. [ 1500 \text{ millimeters} \div 304.8 = 4.9213 \text{ feet} ] So, the object is approximately 4.92 feet tall. Length Measurement: If a piece of fabric is 3000 millimeters long, to convert this length to feet, you divide 3000 by 304.8. [ 3000 \text{ millimeters} \div 304.8 = 9.8425 \text{ feet} ] Therefore, the fabric is approximately 9.84 feet long.Practical Examples:
To convert millimeters (mm) to feet, divide the length value in mm by 304.8, as 1 foot equals 304.8 mm. For example, 1,000 mm ÷ 304.8 = 3.28 feet.
