Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to kilometers is 0.0009144, which means that 1 yard is equal to 0.0009144 kilometers:

1 yd = 0.0009144 km

To convert 1700 yards into kilometers we have to multiply 1700 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 0.0009144 km

1700 yd → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 1700 yd × 0.0009144 km

L_(km) = 1.55448 km

The final result is:

1700 yd → 1.55448 km

We conclude that 1700 yards is equivalent to 1.55448 kilometers:
