Interactive yards to centimeters conversion tool
The yards to cm converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert yards to centimeters. Simply enter the number of yards you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in centimeters.
What is the conversion factor between yards and centimeters?
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 yards and centimeters is 91.44, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 91.44 centimeters for every yard, and for every centimeter, there are 191.44 yards (0.0109361 yd).
To convert from yards to centimeters, 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 yard to centimeter, we will use the first fraction: 91.44 cm1 yd so that yards are canceled out. We then multiply the value in yards by this fraction to get the result in centimeters (see example).
Note that yd 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 yd to cm. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from yards to centimeters is:
Which is bigger, a yard or a centimeter?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a yard or an centimeter. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 yd = 91.44 cm
- 91.44 centimeters is bigger than 1 centimeter.
- 1 yard is, therefore, bigger than 1 centimeter.
- To be more specific, a centimeter is 91.44 times smaller than a yard.

How to convert yards to centimeters?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 29 x 1 = 29
- 414 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 414
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 0.01 yards into centimeters we multiply 0.01 yd by the conversion factor of 91.44 cm1 yd
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, yards are canceled out and we get the result in centimeters. 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 0.01 yards are equal to 0.9144 centimeters.
Remember:
- When converting from yards to centimeters, we use 91.44 cm1 yd as a conversion factor.

How to convert 83 yards to centimeters?
We multiply 83 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for yards to centimeters
We multiply 83 yards by the conversion factor. Having yards in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (yd) leaving only centimeters in the final result.
Answer: There are 7589.52 centimeters in 83 yards
How many centimeters are in 290 yards?
Multiply 290 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (yd) is in the denominator.
This allows us to cancel out the yards (yd) and leave the centimeters (cm)
Answer: There are 26517.6 centimeters in 290 yards
