The m to yards converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert meters to yards. Simply enter the number of meters you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in yards.
What is the conversion factor between meters 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 meters and yards is 0.9144, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 0.9144 yards for every meter, and for every yard, there are 0.9144 meters (0.9144 m).
To convert from meters to yards, 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 meter to yard, we will use the first fraction: 1 yd0.9144 m so that meters are canceled out. We then multiply the value in meters by this fraction to get the result in yards (see example).
Note that m 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 m to yd. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from meters to yards is:
Which is bigger, a meter or a yard?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a meter or an yard. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 m = 10.9144 yd = 1.093613298 yd
- 1.09361 yards is bigger than 1 yard.
- 1 meter is, therefore, bigger than 1 yard.
- To be more specific, a yard is 1.09361 times smaller than a meter.

How to convert meters 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:
- 49 x 1 = 49
- 112 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 112
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 9.144 meters into yards we multiply 9.144 m by the conversion factor of 1 yd0.9144 m
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, meters 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 9.144 meters are equal to 10 yards.
Remember:
- When converting from meters to yards, we use 1 yd0.9144 m as a conversion factor.

How to convert 56 meters to yards?
We multiply 56 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for meters to yards
We multiply 56 meters by the conversion factor. Having meters in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (m) leaving only yards in the final result.
Answer: There are 61.2423 yards in 56 meters
How many yards are in 380 meters?
Multiply 380 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (m) is in the denominator.
This allows us to cancel out the meters (m) and leave the yards (yd)
Answer: There are 415.573 yards in 380 meters
