Convert Meters to Miles
1 meter is 0.0006214 mi. One meter is exactly 0.000621371192237 miles.
One meter is 6.2137 × 10^-4 miles. To convert meters to miles, multiply by 6.2137 × 10^-4; to go the other way, divide by 6.2137 × 10^-4 or multiply by 1609.344. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST. The SI base unit, defined since 1983 by the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
The same converter answers this pair however it is written: metres to miles is the British spelling of the same units — the metre and the litre are spelled that way outside the United States and the quantity does not change.
How do you convert meters to miles? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in meters.
- 2.Multiply by 6.2137 × 10^-4 — that is how many miles fit in one meter.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 6.2137 × 10^-4, or multiply by 1609.344.
Worked example: 25 meters to miles
- Formula
- m × 6.2137 × 10^-4 = mi
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 6.2137 × 10^-4 = 0.02 mi
- Answer
- 25 m = 0.02 mi
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a meter?
The SI base unit, defined since 1983 by the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
What is a mile?
Exactly 5,280 feet — a survivor of the Roman mille passus, rounded up by an English statute of 1593.
How many miles are in a meter?
One meter is 6.2137 × 10^-4 miles. Going the other way, one mile is 1609.344 meters. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
