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 500 yards into kilometers we have to multiply 500 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

500 yd → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 500 yd × 0.0009144 km

L_(km) = 0.4572 km

The final result is:

500 yd → 0.4572 km

We conclude that 500 yards is equivalent to 0.4572 kilometers:

500 yards = 0.4572 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.1872265966754 × 500 yards.
