What is the conversion factor between feet and miles?
A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. It represents the ratio (or fraction) that expresses the relationship between two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.
The relationship between feet and miles is 5280, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 5280 feet for every mile, and for every foot, there are 15280 miles (0.000189394 mi).
To convert from feet to miles, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.
Both these fractions are equal to 1. The numerator and the denominator are equivalent, they are just expressed in different units.
Because we are converting from foot to mile, we will use the first fraction: 1 mi5280 ft so that feet are canceled out. We then multiply the value in feet by this fraction to get the result in miles (see example).
Note that ft is in the denominator (bottom) of the conversion factor. This is important, you always want to have the unit you are converting from at the bottom and the unit you are converting to in the numerator (top).
You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from ft to mi. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from feet to miles is:
Which is bigger, a foot or a mile?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a foot or an mile. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 ft = 15280 mi = 0.0001893939394 mi
- 0.000189394 mile is smaller than 1 mile.
- 1 foot is, therefore, smaller than 1 mile.
- To be more specific, a mile is 5280 times bigger than a foot.

How to convert feet to miles?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 80 x 1 = 80
- 346 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 346
Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.
For example, if we want to convert 5.28 feet into miles we multiply 5.28 ft by the conversion factor of 1 mi5280 ft
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, feet are canceled out and we get the result in miles. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.
Based on this, we can conclude that 5.28 feet are equal to 0.001 miles.
Remember:
- When converting from feet to miles, we use 1 mi5280 ft as a conversion factor.
