How to Convert Square Meters to Acres

To convert a square meter measurement to an acre measurement, multiply the area by the conversion ratio.

Since one square meter is equal to 0.000247 acres, you can use this simple formula to convert:

acres = square meters × 0.000247

The area in acres is equal to the square meters multiplied by 0.000247.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 square meters to acres using the formula above.

5,000 sq m = (5,000 × 0.000247) = 1.235527 ac
