What is the conversion factor between yards and 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 miles is 1760, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1760 yards for every mile, and for every yard, there are 11760 miles (0.000568182 mi).
To convert from yards to 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 mile, we will use the first fraction: 1 mi1760 yd so that yards are canceled out. We then multiply the value in yards by this fraction to get the result in 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 mi. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from yards to miles is:
Which is bigger, a yard or a mile?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a yard or an mile. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 yd = 11760 mi = 0.0005681818182 mi
- 0.000568182 mile is smaller than 1 mile.
- 1 yard is, therefore, smaller than 1 mile.
- To be more specific, a mile is 1760 times bigger than a yard.

How to convert yards to miles?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 70 x 1 = 70
- 430 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 430
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 176000 yards into miles we multiply 176000 yd by the conversion factor of 1 mi1760 yd
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, yards are canceled out and we get the result in 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 176000 yards are equal to 100 miles.
Remember:
- When converting from yards to miles, we use 1 mi1760 yd as a conversion factor.
