Calculation process of conversion value

1 parsec = `(3.085677581*10^16) / ((79200/3937))` = 1.5338778581309 × 10⁺¹⁵ chain
1 chain = `((79200/3937)) / (3.085677581*10^16)` = 6.5194239208755 × 10^-16 parsec
? parsec × `(3.085677581*10^16 ("m"/"parsec")) / ((79200/3937) ("m"/"chain"))` = ? chain

High precision conversion

If conversion between parsec to metre and metre to chain is exactly definied, high precision conversion from parsec to chain is enabled.

Since definition contain rounded number(s) too, there is no sense for high precision calculation, but if you want, you can enable it. Keep in mind, that converted number will be inaccurate due this rounding error!
