How to Convert Miles to Kilometers Without a Calculator

Multiplying by the conversion ratio of 1.609344 might be quick using a calculator, but what if you want to convert miles to kilometers without one?

While it's not nearly as accurate, there's actually a pretty easy method for converting in your head that will get you close.

multiply miles by 1 (50 x 1 = 1)multiply miles by .6 (50 x .6 = 5 x 6 = 30)add them together (50 + 30 = 80 mi)Follow these three steps to convert miles to kilometers:

Multiply miles by 1
Multiply miles by .6
Add these two values together

For example, here's how to convert 50 miles to kilometers using this method.

50 mi × 1 = 50
50 mi × .6 = 5 × 6 = 30
50 + 30 = 80 km

The result of 80 km is pretty close to the actual value of 80.4672 and could be done pretty quickly.Bottom line, if you need precision, use the calculator above, but this method will save you some time!
