The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers. Primarily used in horse racing (UK/US). 1 furlong = 660 feet = 1/8 mile.
To convert between Hectometer (hm) and Furlong (fur), use the following formulas:
1 Hectometer (hm) = 0.4970969537898672 Furlong (fur)
1 Furlong (fur) = 2.01168 Hectometer (hm)
1 hm = 1 * 0.4970969537898672 fur = 0.4970969537898672 fur
2 hm = 2 * 0.4970969537898672 fur = 0.9941939075797344 fur
5 hm = 5 * 0.4970969537898672 fur = 2.485484768949336 fur
10 hm = 10 * 0.4970969537898672 fur = 4.970969537898672 fur
