The yards to feet converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert yards to feet. Simply enter the number of yards you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in feet.
What is the conversion factor between yards and feet?
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 feet is 3, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 3 feet for every yard, and for every foot, there are 13 yards (0.333333 yd).
To convert from yards to feet, 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 foot, we will use the first fraction: 3 ft1 yd so that yards are canceled out. We then multiply the value in yards by this fraction to get the result in feet (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 ft. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from yards to feet is:
Which is bigger, a yard or a foot?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a yard or an foot. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 yd = 3 ft
- 3 feet is bigger than 1 foot.
- 1 yard is, therefore, bigger than 1 foot.
- To be more specific, a foot is 3 times smaller than a yard.

How to convert yards to feet?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 75 x 1 = 75
- 763 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 763
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 yards into feet we multiply 10 yd by the conversion factor of 3 ft1 yd
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, yards are canceled out and we get the result in feet. 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 yards are equal to 30 feet.
Remember:
- When converting from yards to feet, we use 3 ft1 yd as a conversion factor.

How to convert 34 yards to feet?
We multiply 34 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for yards to feet
We multiply 34 yards by the conversion factor. Having yards in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (yd) leaving only feet in the final result.
Answer: There are 102 feet in 34 yards
How many feet are in 875 yards?
Multiply 875 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 feet (ft)
Answer: There are 2625 feet in 875 yards
