How many times have you worried about converting kilometres into miles? Well, it does happen from time to time that we might have to convert one unit to another, and it can sound challenging. Though we are aware of what the units are, doing an accurate conversion without knowing the formula can be hard.

Let us learn about kilometers and miles and how they are related and different from one another. After reading this till the end, you will for sure become a master in converting one unit to another. So, let’s get started.

What is Kilometer?

A kilometer is an International system of units that is used to measure the distance between two places or points. It is abbreviated as “km” and can be converted to different units in various ways. For example, a kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, 3281 feet, 1094 yards, 0.621 miles, and approximately 0.540 nautical miles. 

Current Use of Kilometer

Both long and short distances are measured in kilometers. In simple words, it can be used to measure the distance between two cities, states, and countries too. For example, the distance between the US and Canada is 2,260 km.

History of Kilometer

The kilometer was first introduced in the year 1799, but went with the name “millaire”. In a few places, the measuring system for the land was called a myriameter (which was equal to 10000 meters). Later, a kilometer was recommended for day-to-day use to measure the distance between two points. 

The kilometer was a unit that was accepted by the Dutch in the year 1817 but they called it the mijl. It was later in 1867 that the word “kilometer” came into existence and was accepted across the globe as a unit of measurement, and it was/is equal to 1000 meters. 

What is Mile?

A mile is much similar to a kilometer and it is often used for the measurement of land. A mile is a common unit used in the US customary measurement system as well as the Imperial system. A mile goes by the abbreviation “mi” and miles can be measured in different ways in various countries and situations. 

For example, a Roman mile is equal to 5000 feet

An Italian mile is equivalent to 1000 paces

The Persian and the Arabic mile are equal to 1.8 -2.0 kilometers.

The English mile is similar to the Roman mile and it is 1000 paces or 5000 feet.

Also, a statute mile is approx. 1760 years, the Irish mile is 2.048 kilometers and the Scots mile is equal to 1976 imperial yards. Apart from the ones mentioned here, one can also find the German mile, Nautical mile, Dutch, and Chinese mile. Many countries including the UK, Liberia, and the US use miles to measure the length. 

Current Use of Miles

A mile helps to measure the distance between two points or a path. It is being used for distance measurement from the olden days in many countries until the legal metric system was introduced. After the introduction of the metric system, miles weren’t used for distance measuring by most countries like India. 

History of Miles

The word “mile” was originally a Roman word, and was used by soldiers who used to travel a very long distance. The term commonly used back then was called “paces” and it was the same as the leaps the soldiers took. Each leap was five feet long, and 1000 paces formed a mile. Also, as per Latin, a “mile” means 1000. Later this distance was known as a thousand paces or “mile passum”. This later came to be called as a “mile”.

Relationship Between Kilometers and Miles

It is quite easy to understand the relationship between miles and kilometers. As per the mathematical definition, a mile is equal to 1.609344 kilometers and 1 kilometer is equal to 0.6213711922 miles. Let us take this further and derive an equation to convert kilometers into miles.

How Can You Convert Kilometer to Miles?

Converting Kilometers to Miles is very simple. You must multiply the kilometers in figures with 0.6213711922. In other words, we can say that

One Kilometer = 0.6213711922 Miles

Kilometers to Miles Formula with Example

You can change Miles to Km using the km to miles conversion formula:

Miles = Kilometers (in figures) x 0.6213711922

For better understanding check a few examples mentioned below:

For Instance: Convert 200 Kilometers into Miles

Since we know the kilometers to miles formula, we will do the calculation as follows:

Miles = Kilometers (in figures) * 0.6213711922

Miles = 200 x 0.6213711922

Miles = 124.27423844 mi

For Instance: Convert 1000 Kilometers Into Miles

Again, we will use the formula as above mentioned 

Miles = 1000 x 0.6213711922

Miles = 621.3711922 mi

For Instance: Convert 813 Kilometers into Miles

Now, we will use the same formula we mentioned above,

Miles = 813 x 0.6213711922

Miles = 505.174779259 mi
