how to find six figures grid and how we divide a block init into 10 parts in unit
Answers
Six-figure map references To get the six-figure grid reference, you have to imagine that the four-figure square is further divided up into tenths. In the example below, the grey box is in the four-figure grid reference square ‘18 44’, but more accurately it is 7 tenths across and 8 tenths up within that larger grid square, therefore the six-figure map reference is ‘187 448’.

The shapes on the diagram above have the following six-figure grid references: Grey square – 187 448 Red dot – 185 443 To be sure there is no doubt or confusion about which National Grid you’re referring, when you quote the six-figure grid reference you should put the two letters of the area you are in before the numbers. For example, you may be at grid reference ‘509 582’ in south-west Scotland. The complete grid reference you should quote would be ‘NX 509 582’ (without the letters the numeric reference would be repeated in every 100 km square).
