How we got thisFormula, worked example, sources, and proof
Model: Exact unit definitions
Accuracy: Exact to double precision: each conversion is one correctly rounded ratio of exact definitions
Worked example: 100 NM in mi. Source: Exact unit definitions (NIST SP 811 Appendix B). It is golden test vector v001, and every build checks the tool still gives its answer within its tolerance.
