Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 1000: 120 × 1000 ≈ 120,000 yd, against the exact 131,233.6 yd (8.6% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A kilometer is bigger than a yard, so the number of yards must come out larger than the number of kilometers. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
