How Steps to Kilometers are Calculated
Step distance is determined by your step count multiplied by your stride length. For an average adult, a step measures approximately 76.2 cm (0.762 meters / 2.5 feet).
Formula:
Distance (km) = (Steps × Stride Length in cm) ÷ 100,000
Example for 10,000 Steps:
10,000 steps × 76.2 cm = 762,000 cm = 7.62 kilometers (~4.73 miles)
