To convert length x width dimensions from inches to meters we should multiply each amount by the conversion factor. One inch equals 0.0254 meters, in order to convert 17 x 42 inches to meters we have to multiply each amount of inches by 0.0254 to obtain the length and width in meters. In this case to convert 17 x 42 inches into meters we should multiply the length which is 17 inches by 0.0254 and the width which is 42 inches by 0.0254. The result is the following:
17 x 42 inches = 0.432 x 1.067 meters

To calculate a inch value to the corresponding value in meters, just multiply the quantity in inches by 0.0254 (the conversion factor).
meters = inches * 0.0254
The factor 0.0254 is the result from the division 1 / 39.3701 (meter definition). Therefore, another way would be:
meters = inches / 39.3701
