Therefore, the miles to meter formula is as follows:
[m] = [mi] x 1609.344 ⇔ [m] = (25146000/15625) x [mi]
⇒ 1 mi = 1609.344 m.
Spelled out, a mile equals one thousand six hundred and nine point three four four meters.
There are 1,609.344 meters per mile.

Regarding the Confusion Between Miles
In the United Kingdom as well as in the the Unites States “miles” usually means the statute miles, also referred to as land miles and international miles.
And here’s the conversion of nautical miles to meters and survey miles to meters:
[m] = [nmi] x 1852
[m] = [survey mi] x 6336000/3937 ⇒ [m] ~ 1609.34721 x [survey mi]
As matter of fact the difference between the international mile and the survey mile is negligible.
Additional Information
Shorter distances (length) are usually expressed in yards and feet, or in the base unit of length in the International System of Units, the meter.
Longer distances are commonly expressed in miles or in kilometers.
Miles, feet and inches are United States customary units and Imperial units.
