This converter allows you to convert fathoms [fm.] to astronomical units [au] or astronomical units [au] to fathoms [fm.]. 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 fathom [fm.] ≈ 1.222 * 10-11 astronomical units [au]1 astronomical unit [au] ≈ 8.18 * 1010 fathoms [fm.]

Convert fathoms to astronomical units

There are two simple ways to convert fathoms [fm.] to astronomical units [au]. In the first calculation method, the value in fathoms [fm.] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 8.18 * 1010. The second method multiplies the value in fathoms [fm.] by the rounded conversion factor of 1.222 * 10-11.

  • Astronomical units [au] ≈ fathoms [fm.] ÷ (8.18 * 1010)
  • Astronomical units [au] ≈ fathoms [fm.] * 1.222 * 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 fathoms [fm.] to astronomical units [au] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Astronomical units [au] = fathoms [fm.] ÷ 23,367 ÷ 64,021 * 18,288 ÷ 106

Convert astronomical units to fathoms

Converting astronomical units [au] to fathoms [fm.] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in astronomical units [au] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 8.18 * 1010. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in astronomical units [au] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 1.222 * 10-11.

  • Fathoms [fm.] ≈ astronomical units [au] * 8.18 * 1010
  • Fathoms [fm.] ≈ astronomical units [au] ÷ (1.222 * 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 astronomical units [au] to fathoms [fm.] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Fathoms [fm.] = astronomical units [au] * 23,367 * 64,021 ÷ 18,288 * 106
