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. The Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph).
To convert between Hectometer (hm) and Mile (mi), use the following formulas:
1 Hectometer (hm) = 0.0621371192237334 Mile (mi)
1 Mile (mi) = 16.09344 Hectometer (hm)
1 hm = 1 * 0.0621371192237334 mi = 0.0621371192237334 mi
2 hm = 2 * 0.0621371192237334 mi = 0.1242742384474668 mi
5 hm = 5 * 0.0621371192237334 mi = 0.310685596118667 mi
10 hm = 10 * 0.0621371192237334 mi = 0.621371192237334 mi
