40.64 cm = 16 inches exactly.

The metric-conversions.org doesn't give an error for the comma as decimal
seperator.  It simply ignores everything after the comma, or any other
character.

For example

16 = 40.64cm

16@#*$^&*375  = 40.64 cm

I like google calculator myself.  It can accept mixed units, etc:

25 feet * 34 newtons in N*m

=

(25 feet) * 34 newtons = 259.08 N * m


etc

It's very flexible... I like using it for complex impedances in parallel:

Z = 1/ ( 1/Z1 + 1/Z2)

1 / ((1 / ((25 ohms) - (i * (24 ohms)))) + (1 / (i * (50 ohms)))) =
48.0399693 + 0.0384319754 i ohms
