Factors are entered by hand from NIST Office of Weights and Measures 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: sqyd to sqcm is how the symbols are typed on a keyboard with no superscript on it.
How do you convert square yards to square centimetres? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in square yards.
- 2.Multiply by 8361.2736 — that is how many square centimetres fit in one square yard.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 8361.2736, or multiply by 1.1960 × 10^-4.

What is a square yard?
Nine square feet. Carpet is still sold this way in much of the trade.
What is a square centimetre?
A ten-thousandth of a square metre — not a hundredth, which is the mistake squaring a prefix invites. 10,000 cm² to the square metre.
How many square centimetres are in a square yard?
One square yard is 8361.2736 square centimetres, exactly. Going the other way, one square centimetre is 1.1960 × 10^-4 square yards. 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.
