How the Miles to Kilometres Converter Works
Miles and kilometres both measure distance — miles in the imperial system, kilometres in the metric. One mile equals exactly 1.609344 kilometres, so to convert miles to kilometres you multiply by 1.609344, and to convert kilometres to miles you divide. This tool also shows metres, feet and yards.
It converts your value to metres first, then out to every unit, so the results agree whichever unit you start from. Handy for reading road signs, race distances or maps in unfamiliar units.
kilometres = miles × 1.609344
