Conversion FAQs
Why does multiplying by 0.621371 convert km to mikes?
This number is the ratio between one kilometer and one mile. Since 1 km is shorter than 1 mile, multiplying by 0.621371 scales the kilometer value down to its equivalent miles. This factor comes from the relationship 1 mile = 1.609344 km approximately.
Is the conversion factor exact or approximate?
The factor 0.621371 is a rounded decimal approximation for practical use. The exact factor has more decimal places, but this value is precise enough for most everyday calculations and measurements.
Can I convert mikes back to kilometers with the same number?
No, to convert back from mikes to kilometers, divide the miles by 0.621371 or multiply by approximately 1.609344. The conversion factor is not symmetrical because the units measure length differently.
Does the conversion change with different types of miles?
The conversion assumes standard statute miles. Nautical miles differ, being about 1.15078 statute miles, so a different formula would be needed if converting to nautical miles instead of mikes.
