Using the Factor-Label Method of Conversion
So, to convert millimeters to inches, method known as the factor-label method of conversion must be done.
1. Firstly, we know that 25.4 x 10-3 meters equals 1 inch. But before that, meters must be converted to millimeters. 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters
2. Considering how 25.4 x 10-3 meters equals an inch, and 1,000 millimeters equals a meter, we can find the relationship between an inch and a millimeter by finding the product of: 25.4 x 10-3 x 1,000
3. This equals to 25.4 millimeters equaling an inch. This basically means that 1 millimeter equals 1/25.4 of an inch.

Work Shown
1 mm / 1 x 10-3 m = 1 m / 100 cm = 1 cm / (1/2.54) in.
Crossing out the meters (m) and centimeters (cm) gives us a relationship between the millimeter (mm) and the inch (in.).
