To convert yards to kilometers, use this fixed conversion: 1 yard = 0.0009144 kilometers.
Example:
1 yard equals 0.0009144 kilometers.
That means 1,000 yards = 0.9144 km.
Multiply yards by 0.0009144.
Formula:
kilometers = yards × 0.0009144
Use a quick mental rule:
1,000 yards is a little under 1 kilometer (0.914 km).
This works well for rough distance checks.
1 kilometer equals 1,093.6133 yards (about 1,094 yards).
A yard is part of the US and UK customary system.
A kilometer is part of the metric system.
Metric units scale by 10s, so they’re built for larger steps.
The exact conversion uses the defined length of a yard.
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
So:
kilometers = yards × 0.9144 ÷ 1,000
That simplifies to:
kilometers = yards × 0.0009144
100 yards = 0.09144 km.
That’s just under one-tenth of a kilometer.
500 yards = 0.4572 km.
That’s a little under half a kilometer.
1,000 yards = 0.9144 km.
This is close to 1 kilometer, but not equal.
1 mile equals 1,760 yards.
Converted to kilometers: 1,760 yards = 1.609344 km.
No. The yard is defined as 0.9144 meters.
That definition is fixed, so the conversion stays the same everywhere.
Rounding depends on how you’ll use the number.
