The relationship between inches and miles is 63360, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 63360 inches for every mile, and for every inch, there are 163360 miles (1.57828e-5 mi).
To convert from inches 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 inch to mile, we will use the first fraction: 1 mi63360 in so that inches are canceled out. We then multiply the value in inches by this fraction to get the result in miles (see example).
Note that in 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 in to mi. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from inches to miles is:
Which is bigger, an inch or a mile?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a inch or an mile. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 in = 163360 mi = 1.578282828e-5 mi
- 1.57828e-5 mile is smaller than 1 mile.
- 1 inch is, therefore, smaller than 1 mile.
- To be more specific, a mile is 63360 times bigger than an inch.

How to convert inches 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:
- 26 x 1 = 26
- 513 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 513
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 633600 inches into miles we multiply 633600 in by the conversion factor of 1 mi63360 in
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, inches 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 633600 inches are equal to 10 miles.
Remember:
- When converting from inches to miles, we use 1 mi63360 in as a conversion factor.
