Convert Yards to Kilometers
1 yard is 0.0009144 km. One yard is exactly 0.0009144 kilometers.
One yard is 9.1440 × 10^-4 kilometers. To convert yards to kilometers, multiply by 9.1440 × 10^-4; to go the other way, divide by 9.1440 × 10^-4 or multiply by 1093.6133. 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. Three feet, or exactly 0.9144 meters.

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: yards to kilometres 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 yards to kilometers? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in yards.
- 2.Multiply by 9.1440 × 10^-4 — that is how many kilometers fit in one yard.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 9.1440 × 10^-4, or multiply by 1093.6133.
Worked example: 25 yards to kilometers
- Formula
- yd × 9.1440 × 10^-4 = km
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 9.1440 × 10^-4 = 0.02 km
- Answer
- 25 yd = 0.02 km
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a yard?
Three feet, or exactly 0.9144 meters. Concrete and fabric are both sold by it.
What is a kilometer?
One thousand meters, and about 0.621 miles.
How many kilometers are in a yard?
One yard is 9.1440 × 10^-4 kilometers. Going the other way, one kilometer is 1093.6133 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.
