Formula

To execute this calculation, the value in Babylonian Cubit is first normalized to the base Length unit (Meter) before being scaled to Fathom. The direct multiplier for Babylonian Cubit to Fathom is determined by the ratio of their scientific definitions.

Examples

For instance, 1 kùš is strictly defined as roughly 0.2706692913385827 fath. If you are dealing with a larger scale, such as 50 kùš, the resulting fath value maintains this exact linear proportionality.

Reverse Formula

The inverse conversion (Fathom back to Babylonian Cubit) is equally valid and uses the reciprocal of the primary ratio. Our interface allows you to toggle this direction instantly to verify both sides of the Length equation.

Common Mistakes

The most frequent error in kùš to fath calculations is the misapplication of unit prefixes (like centi- or milli-). Additionally, confusing Babylonian Cubit with similar units in different systems (like US vs. Imperial) can lead to significant discrepancies.
