The prefix "nano" means ten to the power minus 9. A meter therefore has 10 to the power 9 nanometers; a number which in English is usually called a "billion". The same conversion applies to other places where the prefix "nano" appears - for example, second versus nanosecond.

The nano- prefix means "× 10^-9"

→ there are 10^9 (or 1 × 10^9) nm in 1 m.
