How area conversion works

All units convert through square meters. Each unit has one fixed factor (1 acre = 4046.8564224 m2), so any pair converts in a single step: value x from-factor / to-factor.

Land vs floor units

Hectares and acres are the standard land units (1 hectare = 2.471 acres), while square feet and square meters dominate real estate floor areas. Square miles and square kilometers are used for cities, regions and countries.
