Conversion formula

The conversion factor from miles to yards is 1760, which means that 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards:

1 mi = 1760 yd

To convert 500 miles into yards we have to multiply 500 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from miles to yards. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mi → 1760 yd

500 mi → L_(yd)

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

L_(yd) = 500 mi × 1760 yd

L_(yd) = 880000 yd

The final result is:

500 mi → 880000 yd

We conclude that 500 miles is equivalent to 880000 yards:

500 miles = 880000 yards

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 yard is equal to 1.1363636363636E-6 × 500 miles.

Another way is saying that 500 miles is equal to 1 ÷ 1.1363636363636E-6 yards.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred miles is approximately eight hundred eighty thousand yards:

500 mi ≅ 880000 yd

An alternative is also that one yard is approximately zero times five hundred miles.
