How many micrometers are in one meter?

Explanation:
Think in metric prefixes. A micrometer is 10^-6 meters, so there are 1 / 10^-6 = 10^6 micrometers in one meter. That equals 1,000,000 micrometers. You can see it another way: a meter is 1000 millimeters, and each millimeter is 1000 micrometers; 1000 × 1000 = 1,000,000 μm. The other numbers would correspond to smaller units (millimeters or ten-thousandths of a meter) rather than a full meter.
