In this article I will show you how to convert 470 seconds into nanoseconds. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 470 s to ns. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Seconds to Nanoseconds
A second is greater than a nanosecond. I know that a s is greater than a ns because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 470 seconds into nanoseconds, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for s to ns is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 470 s to ns by multiplying 1000000000 by the number of seconds we have, which is 470.
So, the answer to the question "what is 470 seconds in nanoseconds?" is 470000000000 ns.
