fathoms = yards × 0.5. So 400 yards is back to 200 fathoms; one yard is 0.5 fathoms. See the yards to fathoms table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 2: 200 × 2 ≈ 400 yd, against the exact 400 yd (0.0% 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 fathom is bigger than a yard, so the number of yards must come out larger than the number of fathoms. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
