It may be easier to remember there are 10 angstroms in 1 nanometer. This would mean that 1 angstrom is a tenth of a nanometer and a conversion from angstroms to nanometers would mean moving the decimal place one position to the left.

››Definition: Centimeter
A centimetre (American spelling centimeter, symbol cm) is a unit of length that is equal to one hundreth of a metre, the current SI base unit of length. A centimetre is part of a metric system. It is the base unit in the centimetre-gram-second system of units. A corresponding unit of area is the square centimetre. A corresponding unit of volume is the cubic centimetre.
The centimetre is a now a non-standard factor, in that factors of 103 are often preferred. However, it is practical unit of length for many everyday measurements. A centimetre is approximately the width of the fingernail of an adult person.

››Definition: Angstrom
An angstrom or ångström (Å) is a non-SI unit of length equal to 10-10 metres, 0.1 nanometres or 100 picometres.

This example problem demonstrates how to convert angstroms to nanometers. Angstroms (Å) and nanometers (nm) are both linear measurements used to express extremely small distances.
Problem
The spectra of the element mercury have a bright green line with a wavelength of 5460.47 Å. What is the wavelength of this light in nanometers?
Solution
1 Å = 10-10 m
1 nm = 10-9 m
Set up the conversion so the desired unit will be canceled out. In this case, we want nanometers to be the remaining unit.
wavelength in nm = (wavelength in Å) x (10-10 m/1 Å) x (1 nm/10-9 m)
wavelength in nm = (wavelength in Å) x (10-10/10-9 nm/Å)
wavelength in nm = (wavelength in Å) x (10-1) nm/Å)
wavelength in nm = (5460.47/10) nm
wavelength in nm = 546.047 nm
1 nm = 10-9 m
Set up the conversion so the desired unit will be canceled out. In this case, we want nanometers to be the remaining unit.
wavelength in nm = (wavelength in Å) x (10-10 m/1 Å) x (1 nm/10-9 m)
wavelength in nm = (wavelength in Å) x (10-10/10-9 nm/Å)
wavelength in nm = (wavelength in Å) x (10-1) nm/Å)
wavelength in nm = (5460.47/10) nm
wavelength in nm = 546.047 nm
Answer
The green line in mercury's spectra has a wavelength of 546.047 nm.
= 1.0e-8 Centimeters
It may be easier to remember there are 10 angstroms in 1 nanometer. This would mean that 1 angstrom is a tenth of a nanometer and a conversion from angstroms to nanometers would mean moving the decimal place one position to the left.

Remember to check your significant figures when reporting measurements. In science, even if you do the calculation correctly, your answer is technically incorrect if not reported using significant digits.
