miles = 62 kilometers. Calculate the value in kilometers by multiplying it by the conversion factor '0.6213711922371'. So, 62 kilometers = 62 multiplied by 0.6213711922371 equals 38.5250139187 miles. The conversion factor from kilometers to miles is 0.6213711922371. It was discovered by Isaac Newton and was first published in A New System of World Geography, written by Newton with an introduction by William Harvey. It is also called "Newton's Meter". Newton's method is a method of solving equations that includes dividing each side of the equation by the opposite side to obtain a number which is then multiplied by itself to get a better estimate of the answer. In our case, we have divided both sides of the equation km = mi*k(-1)^n where n is the number of times that we multiply by itself which gives us km/mi * k(-1)^(3*n+1). Now since km/mi is known, we can solve for k which gives us (-1)^(3*n+1)/km or -1/(3*n+1). Multiply this number by mi and you get the result in miles.
