• To convert a mile to feet, multiply by 5,280:

1 mi x 5,280 = 5,280 ft

• To convert a mile to yards, multiply by 1,760:

1 mi x 1,760 = 1,760 yd

• To convert a mile to meters, multiply by 1,609.344:

1 mi x 1,609.344 = 1,609.344 m

• To convert a mile to kilometers, multiply by 1.609344:

1 mi x 1.609344 = 1.609344 km

• To convert a mile to nautical miles, divide by 1.150779:

1 mi / 1.150779 = 0.868976 nmi

• To convert a mile to geographical miles, divide by 0.869:

1 mi / 0.869 = 1.151 mi

• To convert a foot to miles, divide by 5,280:

1 ft / 5,280 = 0.000189 mi

1 km / 1.609344 = 0.621371 mi

• To convert a nautical mile to miles, multiply by 1.150779:

1 nmi x 1.150779 = 1.150779 mi

• To convert a geographical mile to miles, multiply by 0.869:

1 mi x 0.869 = 0.869 mi

Yard: A Unit of Length

A yard is a unit of length that is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches in the imperial and U.S. customary systems of measurement. It is also equal to 0.9144 meter in the International System of Units (SI). A distance of 1,760 yards is equal to 1 mile. The symbol for yard is yd.

How to Convert Yard

To convert a yard to other units of length, you can use the following formulas:

• To convert a yard to feet, multiply by 3. For example, 5 yd = 5 x 3 ft = 15 ft.
• To convert a yard to inches, multiply by 36. For example, 5 yd = 5 x 36 in = 180 in.
• To convert a yard to meters, multiply by 0.9144. For example, 5 yd = 5 x 0.9144 m = 4.572 m.
• To convert a yard to centimeters, multiply by 91.44. For example, 5 yd = 5 x 91.44 cm = 457.2 cm.
• To convert a yard to millimeters, multiply by 914.4. For example, 5 yd = 5 x 914.4 mm = 4572 mm.
• To convert a yard to kilometers, divide by 1093.6133. For example, 5 yd = 5 / 1093.6133 km = 0.00457 km.
