Currency Conversion Basics

Currency conversion involves exchanging one currency for another at a specific exchange rate. The formula for currency conversion is:

Converted Amount = Original Amount × Exchange Rate

For example, if you have 1,000,000 IDR and the exchange rate is 1 USD = 14,000 IDR, then:

1,000,000 IDR ÷ 14,000 IDR/USD = 71.43 USD

Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so it's important to use up-to-date rates for accurate conversions.
