What is the conversion factor between centimeters and yards?

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 centimeters and yards is 91.44, such as:

1 yd = 91.44 cm

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 91.44 centimeters for every yard, and for every centimeter, there are 191.44 yards (0.0109361 yd).

To convert from centimeters to yards, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.

1 yd91.44 cm = 91.44 cm1 yd= 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 centimeter to yard, we will use the first fraction: 1 yd91.44 cm so that centimeters are canceled out. We then multiply the value in centimeters by this fraction to get the result in yards (see example).

Note that cm 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 cm to yd. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from centimeters to yards is:

1 yd91.44 cm

Which is bigger, a centimeter or a yard?

When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a centimeter or an yard. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.

  • 1 cm = 191.44 yd = 0.01093613298 yd
  • 0.0109361 yard is smaller than 1 yard.
  • 1 centimeter is, therefore, smaller than 1 yard.
  • To be more specific, a yard is 91.44 times bigger than a centimeter.

How to convert centimeters to yards?

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
  • 194 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 194

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 91440 centimeters into yards we multiply 91440 cm by the conversion factor of 1 yd91.44 cm

91440 cm = 91440 cm x 1 = 91440 cm x 1 yd91.44 cm = 1000 yd

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, centimeters are canceled out and we get the result in yards. 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 91440 centimeters are equal to 1000 yards.

Remember:

  • When converting from centimeters to yards, we use 1 yd91.44 cm as a conversion factor.

Practice: centimeters to yards conversion

Try answering the following questions without using our custom conversion calculator. Knowing how to convert manually between centimeters and yards could prove to be useful, so give it a shot. Once you are confident you can convert centimeters to yards, there is no harm then in taking full advantage of the tools available to you.

How to convert 32 centimeters to yards?

We multiply 32 by the factor of 1

32 cm = 32 cm x 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for centimeters to yards

32 cm = 32 cm x 1 yd91.44 cm

We multiply 32 centimeters by the conversion factor. Having centimeters in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (cm) leaving only yards in the final result.

32 cm = 32 cm x 1 yd91.44 cm
32 cm = 32 x 191.44 yd
32 cm = 0.349956 yd

Answer: There are 0.349956 yards in 32 centimeters

How many yards are in 945 centimeters?

Multiply 945 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (cm) is in the denominator.

945 cm = 945 cm x 1 yd91.44 cm

This allows us to cancel out the centimeters (cm) and leave the yards (yd)

945 cm = 945 cm x 1 yd91.44 cm
945 cm = 945 x 191.44 yd
945 cm = 10.3346 yd

Answer: There are 10.3346 yards in 945 centimeters
