What is the conversion factor between nautical miles and meters?
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 nautical miles and meters is 1852, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1852 meters for every nautical mile, and for every meter, there are 11852 nautical miles (0.000539957 nmi).
To convert from nautical miles to meters, 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 nautical mile to meter, we will use the first fraction: 1852 m1 nmi so that nautical miles are canceled out. We then multiply the value in nautical miles by this fraction to get the result in meters (see example).
Note that nmi 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 nmi to m. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from nautical miles to meters is:
Which is bigger, a nautical mile or a meter?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a nautical mile or an meter. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 nmi = 1852 m
- 1852 meters is bigger than 1 meter.
- 1 nautical mile is, therefore, bigger than 1 meter.
- To be more specific, a meter is 1852 times smaller than a nautical mile.

How to convert nautical miles to meters?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 73 x 1 = 73
- 432 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 432
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 10 nautical miles into meters we multiply 10 nmi by the conversion factor of 1852 m1 nmi
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nautical miles are canceled out and we get the result in meters. 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 10 nautical miles are equal to 18520 meters.
Remember:
- When converting from nautical miles to meters, we use 1852 m1 nmi as a conversion factor.
