1 mile equals approximately 67.2 smoots.
This result comes from knowing that a smoot is about 5 feet 7 inches long, which is 5.5833 feet. Since there are 5280 feet in a mile, dividing 5280 by 5.5833 gives the number of smoots in a mile. So, 5280 ÷ 5.5833 ≈ 67.2 smoots.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert miles to smoots multiplies the number of miles by the ratio of feet in a mile (5280) to the length of one smoot in feet (approximately 5.5833). This works because it scales the distance from miles into smoot units directly. For example, 1 mile times (5280 / 5.5833) equals about 67.2 smoots.
Conversion Example
- Convert 2 miles:
- Multiply 2 by 5280 to get total feet: 2 × 5280 = 10,560 feet.
- Divide 10,560 by 5.5833 (smoot length in feet): 10,560 ÷ 5.5833 ≈ 1,891.2 smoots.
- Result: about 1,891.2 smoots.
- Convert 0.5 miles:
- 0.5 × 5280 = 2640 feet.
- 2640 ÷ 5.5833 ≈ 472.6 smoots.
- Result: approximately 472.6 smoots.
- Convert 5 miles:
- 5 × 5280 = 26,400 feet.
- 26,400 ÷ 5.5833 ≈ 4,727.4 smoots.
- Result: about 4,727.4 smoots.
