You use a conversion factor when you want to convert something to something else - for example, to convert between different units of measurement.
a conversion factor is a number that converts units of one system of measurement to another (usually by multiplication)examples: (conversion factors in brackets)lengthinches (*25.4)= millimetresmiles (*1.609)= kilometresweightlbs (* 0.4536)= kilogramstons/imperial(*1.016)= tonnes/metric
Calibration error and measurement error. Also, if the measurements are of different objects there may be random error.
The answer depends on what measurement the conversion concerns. There is no way that you can convert a measurement of mass to degrees, for example.
It depends on which measurement or unit you want to convert. Each and every different unit has its own conversion factor.
