About Converting Links to Furlongs
Link and Furlong both measure length. Specifically: A surveyor's link is 1/100 of a chain, and a furlong is 660 feet.
Formula
furlongs = links × 0.001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 link equals 0.201168 base units, and 1 furlong equals 201.168 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct link-to-furlong factor of 0.001.
Simple example
1 li × 0.001 = 0.001 fur
1 link = 0.001 furlongs.
Real-world example
10 li × 0.001 = 0.01 fur
10 links = 0.01 furlongs.
