What is the formula to convert 1 meter to inches?

Divide by 0.0254, the exact length of an inch in meters: 1 ÷ 0.0254 ≈ 39.37 inches.

How do you convert 39.37 inches back to meters?

Multiply by 0.0254: 39.37 × 0.0254 ≈ 1 meter. The inch is defined exactly, so the round trip is limited only by the rounding shown on the page.

Why is the answer not simply 1 × 39.37?

39.37 is a rounded shortcut. A meter actually holds 39.3700787… inches, the reciprocal of the exact 0.0254 m inch, and this page divides by 0.0254 and rounds to three decimals. For everyday sizes both routes agree; over a kilometre the shortcut falls about 0.08 inch short.
