Brain math says approximately 140,000.

> but I said precise

Calculator says 147,840. Significant figures say the first two digits are all that matter. :02_shrug:

The mile came from 1000 paces. Not that it really matters anymore, because people rarely walk long distances anymore.

For engineering or scientific use, you will be using measuring instruments, and the choice of standard is completely arbitrary. There's a conversion factor for every unit you can work with. The only thing that matters in these fields is that you adhere to the standard in use where you are working, because communicating measurements between people is what is important.
