The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers. The Millimeter (mm) is perfect for very small measurements like the thickness of a credit card (0.76 mm), the diameter of a pencil lead (0.5-0.7 mm), or the size of small hardware components. Commonly used in engineering, jewelry design and manufacturing.
To convert between Hectometer (hm) and Millimeter (mm), use the following formulas:
1 Hectometer (hm) = 100000 Millimeter (mm)
1 Millimeter (mm) = 0.00001 Hectometer (hm)
1 hm = 1 * 100000 mm = 100000 mm
2 hm = 2 * 100000 mm = 200000 mm
5 hm = 5 * 100000 mm = 500000 mm
10 hm = 10 * 100000 mm = 1000000 mm
| Hectometer (hm) | Millimeter (mm) |

| 1 hm | 100000 mm |
| 2 hm | 200000 mm |
| 5 hm | 500000 mm |
| 10 hm | 1000000 mm |
| 20 hm | 2000000 mm |
| 50 hm | 5000000 mm |
