Formula Used
The conversion between kilometers and other units is based on standard metric and imperial conversion factors:

Worked Examples
Example 1: Converting Kilometers to Miles
If you have a distance of 50 kilometers and want to convert it to miles:
50 km × 0.621371 = 31.0686 miles
So, 50 kilometers is approximately 31.07 miles.
Example 2: Converting Kilometers to Feet
For a distance of 2.5 kilometers in feet:
2.5 km × 3,280.84 = 8,202.1 feet
Therefore, 2.5 kilometers is equal to 8,202.1 feet.
Ontario-Specific Example: Toronto to Niagara Falls
The approximate driving distance from Toronto to Niagara Falls is 120 kilometers. Converting this to miles:
120 km × 0.621371 = 74.565 miles
This means the drive from Toronto to Niagara Falls is about 74.57 miles.
