The convenience is that all the units are subdivided by factors of ten, so converting from millimeters to meters is as simple as knowing milli means one thousandth Therefore there are one thousand millimeters in a meter. No real math is involved in converting the scale of a measurement just move the decimal point over the correct number of decimal places and your done.
