Ok guys I need some enlightment. I want to convert Moa to mil. I know to convert Moa to Mils you divide the Moa by 3.438. My question is If a mil subtends 3.6 inches at 100 yds why the 3.438 number instead of dividing by 3.6?

Because a MOA is 1.0472" (rounded off) per hundred yards. Divide 1.0472 into 3.6" and the answer is 3.438 (rounded off) MOA
