What is the conversion factor between miles and yards?

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 miles and yards is 1760, such as:

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1760 yards for every mile, and for every yard, there are 11760 miles (0.000568182 mi).

To convert from miles to yards, 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 mile to yard, we will use the first fraction: 1760 yd1 mi so that miles are canceled out. We then multiply the value in miles by this fraction to get the result in yards (see example).

Note that mi 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 mi to yd. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from miles to yards is:

Which is bigger, a mile or a yard?

When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a mile or an yard. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.

• 1 mi = 1760 yd
• 1760 yards is bigger than 1 yard.
• 1 mile is, therefore, bigger than 1 yard.
• To be more specific, a yard is 1760 times smaller than a mile.

How to convert miles to yards?

Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.

For example:

• 27 x 1 = 27
• 758 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 758

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 100 miles into yards we multiply 100 mi by the conversion factor of 1760 yd1 mi

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, miles are canceled out and we get the result in yards. 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 100 miles are equal to 176000 yards.

Remember:

• When converting from miles to yards, we use 1760 yd1 mi as a conversion factor.
