How to convert nautical miles 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:

• 62 x 1 = 62
• 392 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 392

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 91.44 nautical miles into yards we multiply 91.44 nmi by the conversion factor of 1852 yd0.9144 nmi

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nautical miles 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 91.44 nautical miles are equal to 185200 yards.
