League (lea). A league was roughly the distance a person can walk in an hour; here it is defined as 3 miles (4,828.032 m).
Chain (ch). A chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), a surveying unit; 80 chains make one mile.
There are 240 chains in one league.
Multiply the number of leagues by 240. For example, 10 leagues equal 2,400 chains.
One chain equals 0.00416667 leagues.
2,880 chains. Other common values: 5 leagues = 1,200 chains and 100 leagues = 24,000 chains.
