Conversion FAQs
Why does the conversion factor seem so precise (0.621371)?
That number comes from the international agreement for the exact length of meters and miles. The factor is set so that calculations are accurate and standardized worldwide, although sometimes people just use 0.62 for quick mental math, but that’s less exact.
Can I use 0.62 instead of 0.621371 for quick conversions?
Yes, but the result will be a bit off. For rough estimates, multiplying kilometers by 0.62 is okay. Though, for scientific or official use, you want to stick to 0.621371 because it gives the correct answer every time.
Why do some countries use kilometers and others use miles?
This choice depends on history and local laws. Most countries use kilometers as they follow the metric system, while the US and UK still use miles for most road signs and maps. People in those places are used to miles, so they stick with it.
Is the conversion factor ever different for nautical miles?
Yes, nautical miles are not the same as regular miles. One nautical mile is about 1.852 km, and it’s used for sea and air navigation, not for land distances. You should not mix up these two, or get the calculation wrong.
