1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.6214 miles. To convert kilometers (km) to miles, multiply the distance in kilometers by 0.6214:
miles=kilometers×0.6214\text{miles}=\text{kilometers}\times 0.6214miles=kilometers×0.6214
For example,
- 1 km = 0.6214 miles
- 5 km = 3.107 miles
- 10 km = 6.214 miles
This conversion is widely used as the standard factor between these two distance units, where the kilometer is part of the metric system and the mile is part of the imperial system.
