What is the conversion factor between yards 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 yards and inches is 36, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 36 inches for every yard, and for every inch, there are 136 yards (0.0277778 yd).
To convert from yards to inches, 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 inch, we will use the first fraction: 36 in1 yd so that yards are canceled out. We then multiply the value in yards by this fraction to get the result in inches (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 in. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from yards to inches is:
Which is bigger, a yard or an inch?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a yard or an inch. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 yd = 36 in
- 36 inches is bigger than 1 inch.
- 1 yard is, therefore, bigger than 1 inch.
- To be more specific, an inch is 36 times smaller than a yard.

How to convert yards 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:
- 72 x 1 = 72
- 981 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 981
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 10 yards into inches we multiply 10 yd by the conversion factor of 36 in1 yd
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, yards 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 10 yards are equal to 360 inches.
Remember:
- When converting from yards to inches, we use 36 in1 yd as a conversion factor.

How to convert 81 yards to inches?
We multiply 81 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for yards to inches
We multiply 81 yards by the conversion factor. Having yards in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (yd) leaving only inches in the final result.
Answer: There are 2916 inches in 81 yards
How many inches are in 750 yards?
Multiply 750 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (yd) is in the denominator.
This allows us to cancel out the yards (yd) and leave the inches (in)
Answer: There are 27000 inches in 750 yards
