Converting the other way: yards to nautical miles
nautical miles = yards × 0.00049374. So 34,431.32 yards is back to 17 nautical miles; one yard is 0.00049374 nautical miles. See the yards to nautical miles table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 2000: 17 × 2000 ≈ 34,000 yd, against the exact 34,431.32 yd (1.3% 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 yard, so the number of yards must come out larger than the number of nautical miles. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
