What is the conversion factor between yards and nautical miles?
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 nautical miles is 18520.9144, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 18520.9144 yards for every nautical mile, and for every yard, there are 0.91441852 nautical miles (0.000493737 nmi).
To convert from yards to nautical miles, 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 nautical mile, we will use the first fraction: 0.9144 nmi1852 yd so that yards are canceled out. We then multiply the value in yards by this fraction to get the result in nautical miles (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 nmi. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from yards to nautical miles is:
Which is bigger, a yard or a nautical mile?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a yard or an nautical mile. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 yd = 0.91441852 nmi = 0.0004937365011 nmi
- 0.000493737 nautical mile is smaller than 1 nautical mile.
- 1 yard is, therefore, smaller than 1 nautical mile.
- To be more specific, a nautical mile is 2025.37 times bigger than a yard.

How to convert yards to nautical miles?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 11 x 1 = 11
- 743 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 743
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 18.52 yards into nautical miles we multiply 18.52 yd by the conversion factor of 0.9144 nmi1852 yd
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, yards are canceled out and we get the result in nautical miles. 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 18.52 yards are equal to 0.009144 nautical miles.
Remember:
- When converting from yards to nautical miles, we use 0.9144 nmi1852 yd as a conversion factor.
