Calculation Info

The Fathom To Furlong (Fth To Fur) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert measurements from fathoms to furlongs. Both units are used primarily in maritime and nautical contexts to measure distances at sea.

A fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 feet, traditionally used to measure the depth of water. It is commonly used by sailors and divers to determine how deep the water is beneath a vessel or diving equipment.

A furlong, on the other hand, is a unit of distance equal to 660 feet. It is often used in horse racing and land measurement to describe lengths or distances.

To convert from fathoms to furlongs, you can use the following formula:
Furlongs = Fathoms ÷ 110

This formula works because 1 furlong equals 660 feet, and 1 fathom equals 6 feet. So, dividing the number of fathoms by 110 (since 660 ÷ 6 = 110) gives you the equivalent distance in furlongs.

Using this converter, you simply input the number of fathoms, and it will automatically calculate the corresponding number of furlongs, making distance conversions quick and easy for your nautical or land measurement needs.
