Common mistakes to avoid
- Dividing when you should multiply. Because 1 kilometer = 3,280.84 feet, the answer should be larger than the number you started with.
- Rounding too early. Convert first at full precision, then round the final answer to the precision the task actually needs.
How precise does the answer need to be?
For everyday measurements round to the nearest whole unit or to one decimal place. Machining, sewing and construction usually need at least two decimals — and it is worth measuring in the target unit directly when tolerance matters.
How these units are defined
- Kilometer (km): One thousand meters; the standard road-distance unit in metric countries. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
- Foot (ft): Exactly 12 inches, or 0.3048 meters. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
