Square Kilometers to Square Mileskm² → mi²
1 km² = 0.386102 mi² · 1 mi² = 2.58999 km²
Formula
mi² ≈ km² ÷ 2.58999
Example: 15 km² = 15 ÷ 2.58999 = 5.79153 mi²
These units differ only by a fixed factor: multiply by it to convert, divide to go back. The factors are exact international definitions (for example 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly); results are rounded only for display.
