Converting the other way: yards to fathoms
fathoms = yards × 0.5. So 180 yards is back to 90 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: 90 × 2 ≈ 180 yd, against the exact 180 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.
