Calculation process of conversion value

1 astronomical unit = (exactly) `(149597870700) / (9460730472580800)` = 1.5812507409821 × 10^-5 light-year
1 light-year = (exactly) `(9460730472580800) / (149597870700)` = 63241.077084266 astronomical unit
? astronomical unit × `(149597870700 ("m"/"astronomical unit")) / (9460730472580800 ("m"/"light-year"))` = ? light-year
