What is the conversion factor between yards 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 yards and kilometers is 0.0009144, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 0.0009144 yards for every kilometer, and for every yard, there are 0.0009144 kilometers (0.0009144 km).
To convert from yards to kilometers, 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 kilometer, we will use the first fraction: 0.0009144 km1 yd so that yards are canceled out. We then multiply the value in yards by this fraction to get the result in kilometers (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 km. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from yards to kilometers is:
Which is bigger, a yard or a kilometer?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a yard or an kilometer. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 yd = 0.0009144 km
- 0.0009144 kilometer is smaller than 1 kilometer.
- 1 yard is, therefore, smaller than 1 kilometer.
- To be more specific, a kilometer is 1093.61 times bigger than a yard.

How to convert yards 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:
- 67 x 1 = 67
- 324 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 324
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 yards into kilometers we multiply 0.001 yd by the conversion factor of 0.0009144 km1 yd
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, yards 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 yards are equal to 9.144e-7 kilometers.
Remember:
- When converting from yards to kilometers, we use 0.0009144 km1 yd as a conversion factor.
