How to Convert Yards to Kilometers
To convert a measurement in yards to a measurement in kilometers, multiply the length by the following conversion ratio: 0.000914 kilometers/yard.
Since one yard is equal to 0.000914 kilometers, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilometers = yards × 0.000914
The length in kilometers is equal to the length in yards multiplied by 0.000914.
For example, here's how to convert 5,000 yards to kilometers using the formula above.
kilometers = (5,000 yd × 0.000914) = 4.572 km
Yards and kilometers are both units used to measure length. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
