Still looks like two conversions for each to me.
11 * 7.233 = 79.563
How many conversions is that?
Does anyone remember the correct use of significant digits?
Using ten more decimal places does not make a calculation more accurate.
I am lazy and just cut and paste the results from a calculator. So what calculator do you use that has that logic?

I built a units conversion excel workbook with several hundred conversions for a wide range of metrics.
Using a simplified conversion factor helps when writing complex equations.
