Affected app version


### Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 14 (API 34)

### Affected device model

MuMu Android Emulator (900 x 1600)

### How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open the unit converter in Fossify Calculator and select **Length**.
2. Set the input unit to **Fathom** and the output unit to **Meter**.
3. Enter `1` as the input value and read the result.

### Expected behavior

The result should be `1.8288 m`, because one international fathom is exactly six feet, and six international feet equal 1.8288 meters.

### Actual behavior

The converter shows `1.852 m`. That value looks like the meter equivalent of a nautical mile rather than of a fathom.

### Additional information

- Package: `org.fossify.math`
- Tested version: 1.4.0 (version code 10)
- Environment: Android 14 (API 34), MuMu Android Emulator (900 x 1600)

The error is easy to spot for anyone who works with nautical units, and it propagates to every fathom value converted through this screen.
