yards = kilometers × 1,093.61. So 0.04572 kilometers is back to 50 yards; one kilometer is 1,093.61 yards. See the kilometers to yards table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.0009: 50 × 0.0009 ≈ 0.045 km, against the exact 0.04572 km (1.6% 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 yard is smaller than a kilometer, so the number of kilometers must come out smaller than the number of yards. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
