About Meter and Millimeter
The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Every other length unit on this site is defined in terms of it. The millimeter is one thousandth of a meter. Engineering and manufacturing drawings in metric countries are dimensioned almost exclusively in millimeters to avoid decimal points. One Meter equals 1000 Millimeter (1 m = 1000 mm). Meter to Millimeter conversion comes up most often in architectural drawings and building codes outside the US and in athletics track and field events, typically when figures need restating for engineering and CAD drawings.
Precision and Rounding: Length factors between metric and imperial units are exact by definition (1 ft = 0.3048 m since 1959), so any rounding error comes from display precision, not the factor. Two or three decimal places suit carpentry and DIY work; machining and surveying often require four or more.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
Worked Example
15 Meter equals 15000 Millimeter.
15 m × 1000 = 15000 mm
