Measured against the short side of an A1 sheet, 423 centimetres spans about 7.1 times that reference.
Its published measurement is 59.4 centimetres; the ratio is calculated from that figure.
Measured against the long side of an A2 sheet, 423 centimetres spans about 7.1 times that reference.
The comparison uses the published dimension, converted into the same unit before the proportion is calculated.
423 centimetres is about 13% of the minimum length of a full FIBA court area.
Using the source measurement of 3,200 centimetres, this comparison puts the target at 13% of it.

423 centimetres is approximately 166.5 inches.
Using the exact conversion that 1 centimetre equals exactly 0.3937007874 inches, the unrounded result is 166.535 inches.
Reference measurements are rounded where appropriate, and naturally variable objects are described as approximate, typical, or maximum sizes.
