Calculation process of conversion value

1 chain = (exactly) `((79200/3937)) / ((254/720000))` = 57024.114048228 point (PostScript)
1 point (PostScript) = (exactly) `((254/720000)) / ((79200/3937))` = 1.7536440796857 × 10^-5 chain
? chain × `((79200/3937) ("m"/"chain")) / ((254/720000) ("m"/"point (PostScript)"))` = ? point (PostScript)
