What is the conversion factor between yards 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 yards and meters is 0.9144, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 0.9144 yards for every meter, and for every yard, there are 0.9144 meters (0.9144 m).
To convert from yards 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 yard to meter, we will use the first fraction: 0.9144 m1 yd so that yards are canceled out. We then multiply the value in yards by this fraction to get the result in meters (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 m. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from yards to meters is:
Which is bigger, a yard or a meter?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a yard or an meter. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 yd = 0.9144 m
- 0.9144 meter is smaller than 1 meter.
- 1 yard is, therefore, smaller than 1 meter.
- To be more specific, a meter is 1.09361 times bigger than a yard.

How to convert yards 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:
- 44 x 1 = 44
- 861 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 861
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 meters we multiply 10 yd by the conversion factor of 0.9144 m1 yd
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, yards 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 yards are equal to 9.144 meters.
Remember:
- When converting from yards to meters, we use 0.9144 m1 yd as a conversion factor.

How to convert 72 yards to meters?
We multiply 72 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for yards to meters
We multiply 72 yards by the conversion factor. Having yards in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (yd) leaving only meters in the final result.
Answer: There are 65.8368 meters in 72 yards
How many meters are in 170 yards?
Multiply 170 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 meters (m)
Answer: There are 155.448 meters in 170 yards
