Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 100: 400 × 100 ≈ 40,000 ha, against the exact 40,000 ha (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 square kilometer is bigger than a hectare, so the number of hectares must come out larger than the number of square kilometers. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
