Common Length Conversion Formulas

If you prefer to calculate distances manually, here are the standard mathematical equations for daily length conversions:

• Miles to Kilometers: km = mi × 1.60934
• Kilometers to Miles: mi = km ÷ 1.60934
• Meters to Feet: ft = m × 3.28084
• Feet to Meters: m = ft ÷ 3.28084
• Inches to Centimeters: cm = in × 2.54
• Centimeters to Inches: in = cm ÷ 2.54

Quick Reference Chart

Here is a quick cheat sheet for everyday metric and imperial lengths:

• 1 Kilometer (km) = 1,000 Meters (m) = 0.62137 Miles (mi)
• 1 Mile (mi) = 5,280 Feet (ft) = 1.60934 Kilometers (km)
• 1 Meter (m) = 100 Centimeters (cm) = 3.28084 Feet (ft)
• 1 Yard (yd) = 3 Feet (ft) = 36 Inches (in) = 0.9144 Meters (m)
• 1 Foot (ft) = 12 Inches (in) = 30.48 Centimeters (cm)
• 1 Inch (in) = 2.54 Centimeters (cm) = 25.4 Millimeters (mm)
