This converter allows you to convert chains [ch] to light hours [lh] or light hours [lh] to chains [ch]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 chain [ch] ≈ 1.864 * 10-11 light hours [lh]1 light hour [lh] ≈ 5.365 * 1010 chains [ch]

Convert chains to light hours

There are two simple ways to convert chains [ch] to light hours [lh]. In the first calculation method, the value in chains [ch] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 5.365 * 1010. The second method multiplies the value in chains [ch] by the rounded conversion factor of 1.864 * 10-11.

  • Light hours [lh] ≈ chains [ch] ÷ (5.365 * 1010)
  • Light hours [lh] ≈ chains [ch] * 1.864 * 10-11

However, rounded conversion values are only suitable for rough conversions, as rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of chains [ch] to light hours [lh] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Light hours [lh] = chains [ch] ÷ 36,792 ÷ 293,339 * 201,168 ÷ 106

Convert light hours to chains

Converting light hours [lh] to chains [ch] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in light hours [lh] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 5.365 * 1010. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in light hours [lh] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 1.864 * 10-11.

  • Chains [ch] ≈ light hours [lh] * 5.365 * 1010
  • Chains [ch] ≈ light hours [lh] ÷ (1.864 * 10-11)

However, rounded conversion values do not allow for exact calculations because rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of light hours [lh] to chains [ch] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Chains [ch] = light hours [lh] * 36,792 * 293,339 ÷ 201,168 * 106
