Best Answer

One millionth of an inch is equal to 0.000001 of an inch, or 1 x 10-6 in scientific notation, not to be confused with a "mil" which is short for for the Latin word ''millēsimus,'' denoting a thousandth, or .001 of an inch (eg, the thickness of materials sold in sheets such as plastic.

Note that the prefix for units of measurement micro, symbol μ, is often used to define one millionth of something, however, this prefix is not limited to only length and is used in all forms of measurements.
