Here we will show you how to convert 872 mil to km, or more specifically, how to convert 872 scandinavian mil to kilometers.
Mil is predominantly used in Norway and Sweden, and it is not the same length as a mile used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is important to know the difference between a mil and a mile when you go to Scandinavia, because a mil is a lot longer than a mile. In fact, it is more than six times longer.
The plural form of mile is miles, but the plural form of mil is mil. There are 10 kilometers per mil, therefore you multiply mil by 10 to convert mil to kilometers. Here is the formula, math, and answer.
mil × 10 = km
872 × 10 = 8720
872 mil = 8720 km
In comparison, there are only 1.6 km per UK mile or US mile, so 872 miles would be 872 × 1.6 which is 1395.2 km. As you can see, 8720 km is a lot more than 1395.2 km, which is why it is important not to confuse mil and miles when in Scandinavia!
