Converting the other way: meters to nautical miles
nautical miles = meters × 0.00053996. So 2,778,000 meters is back to 1,500 nautical miles; one meter is 0.00053996 nautical miles. See the meters to nautical miles table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 2000: 1,500 × 2000 ≈ 3,000,000 m, against the exact 2,778,000 m (8.0% 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 nautical mile is bigger than a meter, so the number of meters must come out larger than the number of nautical miles. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
