Understanding Picas and Inches

A pica is a unit of length in typography equal to 1/6 inch. It is commonly used in printing and typography. The conversion formula is straightforward: 1 pica equals 1/6 inch. This means that to convert picas to inches, you divide the number of picas by 6.

For example, if you have 12 picas, the conversion to inches would be:

12 picas * (1/6 inch/pica) = 2 inches
