How to Convert Kilometers into Feet, Meters and Miles

Calculators are an excellent tool to verify your conversion of kilometers into feet, meters and miles.

To convert kilometers into feet, meters, and miles follow the three simple steps below to accurately complete your math calculations.

Things You'll Need

• Calculator to verify your math.
• Paper and pencil to do your math long handed.

Instructions

1. Each kilometer is equivalent to 3281 feet.

   Example: 1 kilometer = 3281 feet
   5 kilometers = 16,405 feet
   8 kilometers = 26,248 feet

   To convert kilometers into feet multiply the number of kilometers by 3281 for each foot.

   Example: 7 kilometers X 3 feet (3281 for each foot) = 68,901 feet
   7 (kilometers) X 9843 (3281 X 3 feet) = 68,901 feet
   7 kilometers = 68,901 feet

2. Each kilometer is equivalent to 1000 meters.

   Example: 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
   3 kilometers = 3000 meters
   7 kilometers = 7000 meters

   To convert kilometers into meters simply multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 for each meter.

   Example: 3 kilometers X 2 meters (1000 for each meter) = 6000 meters
   3 (kilometers) X 2000 (1000 X 2 meter) = 6000 meters
   3 kilometers = 6000 meters

3. Each kilometer is equivalent to 0.621 miles.

   Example 1 kilometer = 0.621 miles
   4 kilometers = 2.484 miles
   6 kilometers = 3.726 miles

   To convert kilometers into miles multiply the number of kilometers by 0.621 for each mile.

   Example: 2 kilometers X 1 mile (0.621 for each mile) = 1.242 miles
   2 (kilometers) X 1.242 (0.621 X 1 mile) = 1.242 miles
   2 kilometers = 1.242 miles
