What does inch-pound measure?

Inch-pound measures mechanical energy or torque, defined as one pound-force applied through one inch distance.

What is a megaelectron-volt used for?

A megaelectron-volt quantifies energies at atomic and subatomic scales, such as particle collisions and nuclear decays.

Why are conversion results so large between these units?

Because inch-pound measures mechanical energy at macroscopic scales, and MeV measures extremely small energy quanta, the conversion produces very large numerical values.
