Where 1,609,344 fits
Why 1,609,344 is special
The mile has been an exact number of metres since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, which defined the yard as exactly 0.9144 metres to settle a disagreement between national standards that had drifted apart by a few parts per million. The mile became exact as a consequence rather than by anyone deciding it should be.
