Square Kilometer To Section (Km² To Sec) Converter

The Square Kilometer To Section (Km² To Sec) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert an area measurement from square kilometers to sections. This is useful for land measurement, real estate, agriculture, and other fields where different units are used to describe land size.

A square kilometer (Km²) is a metric unit of area equal to a square that measures one kilometer on each side. One kilometer is 1,000 meters, so a square kilometer covers an area of 1,000 meters by 1,000 meters, which equals 1,000,000 square meters.

A section (Sec) is a unit of land measurement primarily used in the United States, especially in the context of land surveying. One section is equal to 640 acres. In terms of square miles, one section covers an area of 1 square mile, which is equivalent to 640 acres or approximately 2.58999 square kilometers.

To convert from square kilometers to sections, you can use the following formula:

Number of Sections = Area in Km² ÷ 2.58999

This means you divide the area in square kilometers by approximately 2.58999 to get the equivalent area in sections. The converter automates this calculation, making it quick and easy for you to switch between these units without manual math.
