How many kilometers are in a mile?

One mile equals exactly 1.609344 kilometers, so to convert miles to kilometers you multiply the distance by 1.609344. Going the other way, one kilometer is about 0.621371 miles, so you divide kilometers by 1.609344 (or multiply by 0.621371). For quick mental math, a handy approximation is to add about 60 percent: 10 miles is roughly 16 km, and 100 km is roughly 62 miles. The relationship is fixed because the international mile is defined in metric terms, which is why the factor is exact rather than rounded. This is useful when reading a road sign abroad, logging a run, or comparing a car's range. Pick the Length category in the converter, enter your value, and set the from and to units to see the precise figure plus the underlying formula.

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the temperature by 9/5 (1.8) and then add 32: degrees F equals degrees C times 1.8 plus 32. To go from Fahrenheit back to Celsius, reverse the steps — subtract 32 first, then multiply by 5/9. A few fixed points help you sanity-check any result: water freezes at 0 degrees C / 32 degrees F and boils at 100 degrees C / 212 degrees F, and the two scales cross at minus 40, where both read the same number. Note that temperature is not a simple ratio like length or weight, because the scales have different zero points, so you cannot just multiply by a single factor. The Temperature category handles this automatically and also supports Kelvin, Rankine, Delisle, and Newton scales. Enter a value and the converted temperature appears as you type.

Why is an advertised hard drive smaller than its labeled capacity?

The gap comes from two competing definitions of a kilobyte. Drive makers use the decimal system, where 1 KB is 1,000 bytes and 1 GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes. Most operating systems report storage in the binary system, where 1 KiB is 1,024 bytes and 1 GiB is 1,073,741,824 bytes. Because the binary unit is larger, the same number of raw bytes shows a smaller figure on screen — a drive sold as 1 TB displays as roughly 931 GiB, a difference of about 7 percent that grows with capacity. Nothing is missing; it is purely a labeling convention. RAM, by contrast, is almost always quoted in binary. The converter's Data Storage category lets you switch between bytes, KB, MB, GB up to petabytes and shows the binary KiB and MiB variants, so you can see exactly how an advertised size maps to what your computer reports.

How do I convert grams to cups for a recipe?

There is no single gram-to-cup factor, because grams measure weight while cups measure volume, and the conversion depends on the ingredient's density. A cup of water weighs about 236 grams, but a cup of flour is closer to 120 to 125 grams and a cup of granulated sugar around 200 grams, so you cannot use one number for everything. For accurate baking, the most reliable approach is to weigh ingredients in grams and skip volume entirely. When a recipe mixes systems, this tool helps with the parts that do convert cleanly: use the Volume category to move between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, and US or UK gallons, and the Weight category to switch grams, ounces, and pounds. Enter your value, pick the units, and read the result instantly, then apply the right density only where weight meets volume.

What is the difference between a knot and miles per hour?

A knot is one nautical mile per hour, used in sea and air navigation, while miles per hour measures statute miles per hour, the speed unit on most road signs in the US and UK. The two differ because a nautical mile (1,852 meters) is longer than a statute mile (1,609.344 meters). As a result, one knot equals about 1.15078 mph, so a ship doing 20 knots is moving roughly 23 mph. Knots persist in maritime and aviation use because a nautical mile corresponds neatly to one minute of latitude, which simplifies chart work. To convert in either direction, multiply knots by 1.15078 for mph, or divide mph by 1.15078 for knots. Open the Speed category in the converter, which also covers km/h, meters per second, Mach, and the speed of light, then enter your value to see the exact conversion.

About the Unit Converter

The Unit Converter is a free tool for switching a measurement from one unit to another — kilometers to miles, Celsius to Fahrenheit, kilograms to pounds, gigabytes to megabytes, and dozens more. Type a value, pick what you have and what you want, and the converted figure appears instantly. It is built for anyone who runs into mixed units: students working through physics homework, cooks scaling a recipe written in grams, travelers reading a road sign in the "wrong" system, engineers checking pressures, and developers reasoning about file sizes.

Everything happens in your browser. No value you enter is sent to a server, nothing is stored remotely, and there is no sign-up or install. Because the math runs on your own device, conversions are instant and the tool keeps working even after you lose your connection, once the page has loaded.

What it converts

The Unit Converter covers 15 measurement categories, each with its common units:

  • Length — from nanometers and inches up to miles, nautical miles, light years, and parsecs.
  • Weight / mass — grams, kilograms, pounds, ounces, stone, tonnes, carats, and grains.
  • Temperature — Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, plus Rankine, Delisle, and Newton scales.
  • Area, volume, and speed — including acres and hectares, US and UK gallons, cooking measures like cups and tablespoons, and speeds from mph to Mach and the speed of light.
  • Pressure, energy, power, and force — pascals, bar, PSI, joules, calories, watts, horsepower, and more for science and engineering work.
  • Data storage, time, angle, frequency, and fuel economy — bytes through petabytes (with binary KiB/MiB variants), seconds to longer spans, degrees and radians, hertz, and L/100 km style figures.

How to use it

Choose a category, enter your number, and set the "from" and "to" units. The result updates as you type, and a one-line formula shows the relationship — for example, 1 mi = 1.609344 km — so you can see and trust the math rather than treating it as a black box. A swap button flips the two units in place, useful when you realize you had them backwards. The tool also lists the same value across every unit in the category at once, so you can read off, say, what 5 kilometers is in meters, miles, yards, and feet without running separate conversions.

For very large or very small results a scientific notation toggle keeps the display readable instead of showing a long string of zeros. A built-in search box lets you jump straight to a category or unit by name, and your recent conversions are kept on the device so you can revisit the last things you worked out.

Why accurate conversion matters

Unit mistakes are not just academic. The most famous example is NASA's 1999 Mars Climate Orbiter, lost because one team used pound-force seconds while another expected newton-seconds. Everyday slip-ups are smaller but still costly: a recipe doubled in the wrong system, a piece of lumber cut to the wrong length, or a "20 GB" download that fills more disk than expected because storage is quoted in different base systems.

A few fixed reference points are worth committing to memory: water freezes at 0 °C / 32 °F and boils at 100 °C / 212 °F; one inch is exactly 2.54 cm; a mile is 1.609344 km; and one kilogram is about 2.20462 pounds. Note that digital storage has two conventions — a kibibyte is 1,024 bytes while a "kilobyte" is sometimes quoted as 1,000 — which is why a drive's advertised capacity can look smaller than its labelled size. The Unit Converter uses standard, published conversion factors, so the numbers line up with what scientific and engineering references give.

Enter a value above, pick your units, and read the result the moment you stop typing.
