274 km equals 170.25571 miles. To convert km to miles, divide the number of km by 1.609344.
km to miles conversion can be done using multiplication or division.
First, let’s convert 274 km to miles using multiplication method:
We know that there are 0.6213711922 miles in a km.
miles = number of km × 0.6213711922
thus, 274 km = (274 × 0.6213711922) miles
∴ 274 km = 170.25570667 miles
Next, let’s convert 274 km to miles by using the division method:
There are 1.609344 km in a mile. To use division method of conversion, we will use following formula:
miles = number of km ÷ 1.609344
thus, 274 km = (274 ÷ 1.609344) miles
∴ 274 km = 170.25570667 miles
Inch is often used to measure the height of a person. Apart from height measurement, the inch also has other common uses such as measuring electronic components, furniture dimensions, shoe sizes, packaging boxes, etc.
The metric system was implemented in France in 1799, and the meter was made the base unit of length. However, meter was not suitable for all purposes of length measurement, for example, to measure long distances. A unit called the myriameter was popular to represent 10000 meters until 1867. The Netherlands made the term kilometer official to represent 1000 meters in 1867. In 1935, the CIPM (International Committee for Weights and Measures) abolished the prefix “myria”, which gave broader recognition to the kilometer as the unit of length for measurements of similar extent as myriameter.
The most common use of the kilometer is to measure distances between geographical places, lengths of the racing tracks, etc. It is used in combination with other units to calculate the fuel efficiency (kilometers per liter), speed (kilometers per hour), etc.
Mile is a unit of length in the British Imperial System and the United States Customary Units system. It is primarily used in the United States and the United Kingdom to measure longer distances. Its standard symbol is mi.
In the old English units, the value of one mile was equal to 1760 yards. In 1959, seven countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States signed the International Yard and Pound Agreement. This agreement defined the value of the international yard as exactly 0.9144 meters. This consequently defined the value of international mile as exactly 1609.344 meters. Many different miles existed before the international mile was defined.
Nautical mile, the unit derived from the mile, is used for marine and space navigation purposes. It is currently defined as exactly 1852 meters internationally.
