Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to inches is 36, which means that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches:

1 yd = 36 in

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

1 yd → 36 in

500 yd → L_(in)

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

L_(in) = 500 yd × 36 in

L_(in) = 18000 in

The final result is:

500 yd → 18000 in

We conclude that 500 yards is equivalent to 18000 inches:

500 yards = 18000 inches
