Nanometers (nm) are critical in nanotechnology, biology (DNA helix = 2 nm wide), and computing (transistors are 3–5 nm). A human hair is ~80,000 nm thick. 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.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Hectometer (hm), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1.0000000000000001e-11 Hectometer (hm)
1 Hectometer (hm) = 100000000000 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1.0000000000000001e-11 hm = 1.0000000000000001e-11 hm
10 nm = 10 * 1.0000000000000001e-11 hm = 1.0000000000000002e-10 hm
100 nm = 100 * 1.0000000000000001e-11 hm = 1e-9 hm
500 nm = 500 * 1.0000000000000001e-11 hm = 5e-9 hm
| Nanometer (nm) | Hectometer (hm) |

| 1 nm | 1.0000000000000001e-11 hm |
| 5 nm | 5.000000000000001e-11 hm |
| 10 nm | 1.0000000000000002e-10 hm |
| 50 nm | 5e-10 hm |
| 100 nm | 1e-9 hm |
| 500 nm | 5e-9 hm |
