Convert Nautical miles to Kilometers

What is the conversion factor between nautical miles and kilometers?

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 nautical miles and kilometers is 1.852, such as:

1 nmi = 1.852 km

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1.852 kilometers for every nautical mile, and for every kilometer, there are 11.852 nautical miles (0.539957 nmi).

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

1.852 km1 nmi = 1 nmi1.852 km= 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 nautical mile to kilometer, we will use the first fraction: 1.852 km1 nmi so that nautical miles are canceled out. We then multiply the value in nautical miles by this fraction to get the result in kilometers (see example).

Note that nmi 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 nmi to km. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from nautical miles to kilometers is:

1.852 km1 nmi

Which is bigger, a nautical mile or a kilometer?

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

  • 1 nmi = 1.852 km
  • 1.852 kilometers is bigger than 1 kilometer.
  • 1 nautical mile is, therefore, bigger than 1 kilometer.
  • To be more specific, a kilometer is 1.852 times smaller than a nautical mile.

How to convert nautical miles to kilometers?

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

For example:

  • 69 x 1 = 69
  • 735 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 735

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 0.001 nautical miles into kilometers we multiply 0.001 nmi by the conversion factor of 1.852 km1 nmi

0.001 nmi = 0.001 nmi x 1 = 0.001 nmi x 1.852 km1 nmi = 0.001852 km

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nautical miles are canceled out and we get the result in kilometers. 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 0.001 nautical miles are equal to 0.001852 kilometers.

Remember:

  • When converting from nautical miles to kilometers, we use 1.852 km1 nmi as a conversion factor.

Practice: nautical miles to kilometers conversion

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

How to convert 83 nautical miles to kilometers?

We multiply 83 by the factor of 1

83 nmi = 83 nmi x 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for nautical miles to kilometers

83 nmi = 83 nmi x 1.852 km1 nmi

We multiply 83 nautical miles by the conversion factor. Having nautical miles in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (nmi) leaving only kilometers in the final result.

83 nmi = 83 nmi x 1.852 km1 nmi
83 nmi = 83 x 1.8521 km
83 nmi = 153.716 km

Answer: There are 153.716 kilometers in 83 nautical miles

How many kilometers are in 380 nautical miles?

Multiply 380 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (nmi) is in the denominator.

380 nmi = 380 nmi x 1.852 km1 nmi

This allows us to cancel out the nautical miles (nmi) and leave the kilometers (km)

380 nmi = 380 nmi x 1.852 km1 nmi
380 nmi = 380 x 1.8521 km
380 nmi = 703.76 km

Answer: There are 703.76 kilometers in 380 nautical miles
