A furlong is one-eighth of a statute mile. Historically tied to the length of a furrow in plowed fields, it remains standard in horse racing and in some road and field measures. Because the ratio is exact (8 furlongs per mile), conversions here are simple division or multiplication with no approximation factor.
miles = furlongs ÷ 8furlongs = miles × 8yards = furlongs × 220 (or miles × 1,760)This page uses statute miles and international yards (1 yd = 0.9144 m) only as a length measure; it does not use nautical miles.
