What is the conversion factor between miles and inches?

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 miles and inches is 63360, such as:

1 mi = 63360 in

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 63360 inches for every mile, and for every inch, there are 163360 miles (1.57828e-5 mi).

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

63360 in1 mi = 1 mi63360 in= 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 mile to inch, we will use the first fraction: 63360 in1 mi so that miles are canceled out. We then multiply the value in miles by this fraction to get the result in inches (see example).

Note that mi 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).

How to convert miles to inches?

Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.

For example:

  • 10 x 1 = 10
  • 682 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 682

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 0.1 miles into inches we multiply 0.1 mi by the conversion factor of 63360 in1 mi

0.1 mi = 0.1 mi x 1 = 0.1 mi x 63360 in1 mi = 6336 in

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, miles are canceled out and we get the result in inches. 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 0.1 miles are equal to 6336 inches.

Remember:

  • When converting from miles to inches, we use 63360 in1 mi as a conversion factor.

How to convert 40 miles to inches?

We multiply 40 by the factor of 1

40 mi = 40 mi x 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for miles to inches

625 mi = 625 mi x 63360 in1 mi
625 mi = 625 x 633601 in
625 mi = 3.96e+7 in

Answer: There are 3.96e+7 inches in 625 miles
