Below the calculator you will find the formula written out (yd = m × 1.0936133, or reversed, m = yd × 0.9144), a worked example converting 10 metres to yards, and a quick-reference table covering common lengths from 1 to 100 metres so you can check a figure without doing the sums yourself. Results are rounded to a sensible number of decimal places for readability, though the underlying maths is precise to nine significant figures.
