Multiply the number of Foots by 0.00151515 to get Furlongs. Formula: fur = ft × 0.00151515. Example: 10 ft × 0.00151515 = 0.0151515 fur. To reverse, divide Furlongs by 0.00151515 to get Foots.

To convert Foot to Furlong, multiply by 0.00151515. Example: 10 ft = 0.0151515 fur
To convert Furlong back to Foot, divide by 0.00151515 (multiply by 660). Use the swap button above.
Start with 100 Foots = 0.151515 fur as your reference point. Scale up or down from there.
Racetrack distances are measured in furlongs while track dimensions and facility layouts use feet. Racecourse designers, stewards, and racing officials convert between feet and furlongs for every course layout and distance verification.
British railways express distances in miles and chains (10 chains = 1 furlong). Engineers converting foot-based design drawings to chain-and-furlong distance records perform this conversion in signalling and infrastructure projects.
Medieval and turnpike road surveys used furlongs as the primary distance unit. Researchers measuring surviving road features in feet convert to furlongs when comparing against historic road survey records.
Traditional English field systems used furlongs for field layout. Archaeologists and historians measuring surviving field boundaries in feet convert to furlongs when comparing against historic enclosure maps and field surveys.
An American football field is 360 feet long including endzones. Racing enthusiasts occasionally compare: 360 feet = 1.636 furlongs — a comparison that bridges two distinctly American and British sporting traditions.
Teaching the full imperial measurement system requires students to understand how feet and furlongs relate: 660 feet = 1 furlong. This conversion helps students grasp the internal logic of the imperial system before metrication.
The Foot is a unit of Length measurement (symbol: ft). 1 ft = 0.00151515 fur. Used in scientific and practical Length measurement applications.
The Furlong is a unit of Length measurement (symbol: fur). It is part of an internationally recognised measurement system used alongside the Foot.
The foot is one of humanity's oldest measurement units, used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans — each with slightly different values. The English statute foot was standardised at 12 inches in 1305 under King Edward I. Its definition was refined multiple times over centuries, finally fixed as exactly 0.3048 metres under the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959, signed by the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. Today the foot remains official in the US, UK (for road distances and aviation), and international aviation worldwide.
The furlong — from Old English 'furlang', meaning furrow-long — was the standard length of one furrow ploughed by an ox team without resting, typically 220 yards. It dates to at least 8th-century England. The furlong's relationship to other units was carefully defined: 10 chains = 1 furlong, 8 furlongs = 1 mile. Today it survives almost exclusively in horse racing, where it remains the official distance unit in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and several other countries.
Common use: Foot to Furlong conversion is needed when working with international standards, scientific publications, or reference materials that use different unit systems for Length measurement.
