Calculation process of conversion value

1 astronomical unit = (exactly) `(149597870700) / (299792458)` = 499.00478383616 light-second
1 light-second = (exactly) `(299792458) / (149597870700)` = 0.0020039888041 astronomical unit
? astronomical unit × `(149597870700 ("m"/"astronomical unit")) / (299792458 ("m"/"light-second"))` = ? light-second
