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 5000 yards into kilometers we have to multiply 5000 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

5000 yd → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5000 yd × 0.0009144 km

L_(km) = 4.572 km

The final result is:

5000 yd → 4.572 km

We conclude that 5000 yards is equivalent to 4.572 kilometers:

5000 yards = 4.572 kilometers
