Convert Foot to Link

Quick answer: Foot to Link

1 Foot = 1.515152Link (ft → li). To convert foot to link, multiply by 1.515152. To convert link to foot, multiply by 0.66. The converter at the top does this instantly and both ways; the sections below give the formula, worked examples, a full conversion chart and answers to the most common foot-to-link questions.

How to convert Foot to Link

To convert foot to link, multiply the number of foot by the conversion factor 1.515152, because 1 ft = 1.515152li. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 li = 0.66ft, so you divide by 1.515152 (or multiply by 0.66) to turn link back into foot.

li = ft × 1.515152  ·  ft = li × 0.66

1. Write down the value you want to convert, in foot.
2. Multiply it by 1.515152.
3. The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in link.

Foot vs Link: which is bigger?

A foot is the larger unit: one foot equals 1.515152 links. Put another way, you need 1.515152 links to make a single foot.

What is a Foot? History, origin and usage

The foot is one of the most ancient units, based on the length of a human foot, and appeared in the Greek, Roman, Chinese and English systems with values ranging from about 250 to 335 mm. The English foot was eventually fixed at 12 inches, and since the 1959 international agreement it equals exactly 0.3048 metres.

The foot is still used in the US and UK for human height, building dimensions and, worldwide, aviation altitudes, since pilots almost everywhere report altitude in feet. It divides into 12 inches, and three feet make a yard.

Aircraft altitudes are measured in feet even in fully metric countries, a legacy of aviation's English-speaking origins. Historically the foot's length differed not only between countries but sometimes between trades within a single city.

What is a Link? History, origin and usage

The link is one-hundredth of Gunter's surveying chain, making it 7.92 inches long. It was introduced with the chain by Edmund Gunter in 1620 as the small decimal division that let surveyors record distances and areas in convenient hundredths.

The link was used in land surveying alongside the chain, especially for recording fractional-chain distances in old property surveys. It is now obsolete but appears in historical deeds and survey records.

Because the chain was built to make land area decimal, distances measured in links could be squared and turned into acres with simple arithmetic. The seemingly odd 7.92-inch length is just 1/100 of the 66-foot chain.

Tips for converting Foot to Link

• To go from foot to link, multiply by 1.515152; to go back, divide by 1.515152 (or multiply by 0.66).
• For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 foot ≈ 1.515152 link, so 10 foot ≈ 15.15152 link.

How to use this Foot to Link converter

Type a number into the Foot field and the equivalent in Link appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Link field to convert the other way (link to foot). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.

Accuracy and method

Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 ft = 1.515152li), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for foot-to-link conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.

The metric units (km, m, cm, mm, µm) are exact by definition, and the imperial units (mile, yard, foot, inch, nautical mile) use their exact international values. Traditional units (hand, span, finger, cubit, rod/pole, link, rope, ken, league) are given at their commonly accepted standard sizes — historical local values sometimes differed, so confirm against a primary source before relying on them for legal or historical work.
