To convert length x width dimensions from inches to millimeters we should multiply each amount by the conversion factor. One inch equals 25.4 millimeters, in order to convert 5.1 x 8 inches to millimeters we have to multiply each amount of inches by 25.4 to obtain the length and width in millimeters. In this case to convert 5.1 x 8 inches into millimeters we should multiply the length which is 5.1 by 25.4 and the width which is 8 by 25.4. The result is the following:
5.1 x 8 inches = 129.54 x 203.2 millimeters
An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length. It is defined as 1⁄12 of a foot, also is 1⁄36 of a yard.

To calculate a inch value to the corresponding value in millimeters, just multiply the quantity in inches by 25.4 (the conversion factor).
millimeters = inches * 25.4
The factor 25.4 is the result from the division 1 / 0.0393701 (millimeter definition). Therefore, another way would be:
millimeters = inches / 0.0393701
