Full precision:1000 m
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 kilometers to meters, we multiply by 1000 because one kilometer equals exactly 1000 meters.
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Since each kilometer contains 1000 meters, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1000 = 1000 meters
So 1 kilometers = 1000 meters.
Quick check: 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1 kilometers
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 km = 1000 m
1 × 1000 = 1000
1 × 1000 = 1000
Example 2: 5 km = 5000 m
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 × 1000 = 5000
Example 3: 10 km = 10000 m
10 × 1000 = 10000
10 × 1000 = 10000
