Conversion Formula
The formula to convert meters (m) to feet (ft) is: feet = meters × 3.28084. This works because one meter equals approximately 3.28084 feet, a value derived from the definition of the foot in the imperial system.
Multiplying meters by this factor changes the unit from metric length to imperial length. The number 3.28084 is a constant conversion factor between these units.
Example calculation:
- Given: 75 meters
- Multiply 75 by 3.28084 = 75 × 3.28084
- Calculate: 75 × 3.28084 = 246.063 feet (rounded)

Conversion Definitions
m (meter): The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by the distance light travels in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 seconds. Meters are used worldwide for measuring everything from small objects to distances in geography and construction.
feet (ft): The foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems. It equals exactly 0.3048 meters. Feet are often used in the United States and the UK for measuring height, distance, and length in daily life, engineering, and building construction.
Conversion FAQs
Why does 1 meter equal 3.28084 feet?
This value comes from defining the foot as exactly 0.3048 meters internationally. By inverting, 1 meter equals approximately 3.28084 feet. This fixed ratio ensures consistent measurement conversions between metric and imperial units.
Can I use the same conversion factor for all lengths?
Yes, the factor 3.28084 applies to any length in meters, whether very small or very large. Because it’s a unit conversion, it stays constant for all distances measured in meters to feet.
What is the best way to convert meters to feet without a calculator?
You can approximate by multiplying meters by 3.28 for quick mental calculation. For example, 75 m × 3.28 = 246 feet approximately. This is close enough for many practical uses but less precise than the exact factor.
Why does the conversion result sometimes differ slightly?
Rounding during calculations or using approximate factors like 3.28 instead of 3.28084 causes small differences. Also, decimal places in input values and rounding output affect the final number shown.
Is the conversion factor ever updated or changed?
The conversion factor is based on fixed definitions of meters and feet agreed internationally. It does not change unless there’s a major redefinition of units, which is very rare and would be widely announced.
