Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 kilometers to miles, we divide by 1.6093 because one mile equals exactly 1.6093 kilometers.
1 mile = 1.6093 kilometers
Since there are 1.6093 kilometers in every mile, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1.6093 = 0.6214 miles
So 1 kilometers = 0.6214 miles.
Quick check: 0.6214 × 1.6093 = 1 kilometers
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 km = 0.6214 mi
1 ÷ 1.6093 = 0.6214
1 ÷ 1.6093 = 0.6214
Example 2: 5 km = 3.1069 mi
5 ÷ 1.6093 = 3.1069
5 ÷ 1.6093 = 3.1069
Example 3: 10 km = 6.2137 mi
10 ÷ 1.6093 = 6.2137
10 ÷ 1.6093 = 6.2137
