About Mile and Kilometer
The mile is defined as exactly 1,609.344 meters (5,280 feet) under the 1959 international yard and pound agreement. It remains the road-distance unit of the US and UK. The kilometer is 1,000 meters, the standard unit for road distances, maps, and geography in most of the world. Road signs, running races, and vehicle odometers outside the US and UK all use it. One Mile equals 1.609344 Kilometers (1 mi = 1.609344 km). Mile is used in US and UK road distances and speed limits and in marathon and running pace calculations. Kilometer is used in road distances and signage outside the US.
Precision and Rounding:Length factors between metric and imperial units are exact by definition (1 ft = 0.3048 m since 1959), so any rounding error comes from display precision, not the factor. Two or three decimal places suit carpentry and DIY work; machining and surveying often require four or more.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
