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 501 yards into kilometers we have to multiply 501 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

501 yd → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 501 yd × 0.0009144 km

L_(km) = 0.4581144 km

The final result is:

501 yd → 0.4581144 km

We conclude that 501 yards is equivalent to 0.4581144 kilometers:
