Learn How to Convert Kilometers to Inches Using our Conversion Formula
Converting a kilometer length measurement to an inch measurement involves multiplying your length by the conversion ratio to find the result. A kilometer is equal to 39370.07874 inches, so to convert simply multiply by 39370.07874.
For example, 5km = (5 × 39370.07874) = 196,850.393701".
Our inch fraction calculator can add kilometers and inches together and it also automatically converts the results to both imperial and metric values.
Kilometers and inches are both units used to measure length. Learn more about length and find more length measurement conversion calculators. A kilometer is a metric measurement and can be abbreviated as km, for example 1km. An inch is an imperial measurement and can be abbreviated as in, for example 1in.

The actual length of an inch has varied becuase of variances of the length of a foot. Throughout history it has been equal to 1/12 - 1/16 of a foot, but there are now exactly 12 inches in a foot. In 1959 the world agreed to the exact length of the national yard, .9144 meters. As such a foot is equal to .3048 meters and an inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.
The standard ruler has 12", and metric combinations have 30cm. Inches are also often measured using tape measures which commonly come in lengths from 6' - 35'. Other types of measuring devices include scales, calipers, measuring wheels, micrometers, yardsticks, and even lasers.
We recommend using a ruler or tape measure for measuring length, which can be found at a local retailer or home center. Rulers are available in imperial, metric, or combination with both values, so make sure you get the correct type for your needs. If you need a ruler you can also download and print our free printable rulers which include both imperial and metric measurements.
