How to convert meters to miles
1 meter = 0.0006213712 miles. To convert meters to miles, divide by 1,609.344 (or multiply by 0.0006213712). The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the speed of light. The international mile is 5,280 feet, exactly 1,609.344 m.
Worked examples
- 400 meters = 0.248548 mi (400 ÷ 1,609.344)
- 1,500 meters = 0.932057 mi (1,500 ÷ 1,609.344)
- 5,000 meters = 3.10686 mi (5,000 ÷ 1,609.344)
Where this conversion comes up
Meters are used for room sizes, building heights and running distances; miles for road distances and speed limits in the US and UK. Track and race distances are set in meters: 400 m is 0.249 miles, 1,500 m is 0.932 miles and a 5,000 m race is 3.107 miles. A mile is exactly 1,609.344 m, so the '1,600 m' used on some tracks is a hair under a mile.
Quick estimate
Divide by 1,600 (or multiply by 0.000621); the error is under 0.6%.
Common mistakes
- Multiplying instead of dividing. A mile is larger than a meter, so the number of miles must come out smaller: 400 meters = 0.248548 mi.
- Rounding too early. Keep the full factor until the last step; rounding 0.000621 to 0.00062 first puts large values noticeably off.
