Calculation process of conversion value

1 point (TeX) = (exactly) `((254/722700)) / ((79200/3937))` = 1.747092482875 × 10^-5 chain
1 chain = (exactly) `((79200/3937)) / ((254/722700))` = 57237.954475909 point (TeX)
? point (TeX) × `((254/722700) ("m"/"point (TeX)")) / ((79200/3937) ("m"/"chain"))` = ? chain

High precision conversion
