About Converting Yoctometers to Yards
Yoctometer and Yard both measure length. Specifically: Yoctometer is 1e-24 meter units, and a yard is exactly 0.9144 meters.
Formula
yards = yoctometers × 1.093613e-24
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 yoctometer equals 1e-24 base units, and 1 yard equals 0.9144 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct yoctometer-to-yard factor of 1.093613e-24.
Simple example
1 ym × 1.093613e-24 = 1.093613e-24 yd
1 yoctometer = 1.093613e-24 yards.
Real-world example
10 ym × 1.093613e-24 = 1.093613e-23 yd
10 yoctometers = 1.093613e-23 yards.

History of the Yard
The yard has English origins possibly tied to a standard 'gird' or arm's-length measure; it was fixed at exactly 0.9144 meters by the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement, the same treaty that standardized the foot, inch, mile, and pound.
Historical origin. Yard was not the invention of a single named person; it developed through the process described above.
