1 kpc = 0.001 Mpc
Full precision:0.001 Mpc
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 kiloparsecs to megaparsecs, we divide by 1000 because one megaparsec equals exactly 1000 kiloparsecs.

1 megaparsec = 1000 kiloparsecs

Since there are 1000 kiloparsecs in every megaparsec, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 megaparsecs

So 1 kiloparsecs = 0.001 megaparsecs.

✓Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 kiloparsecs
↔ Megaparsecs to Kiloparsecs

How to Convert Kiloparsecs to Megaparsecs

To convert kiloparsecs to megaparsecs, divide the value by 1000.

The Formula

Megaparsecs = Kiloparsecs ÷ 1000

Key Fact

1 megaparsec = 1000 kiloparsecs

Tip: To convert megaparsecs back to kiloparsecs, multiply by 1000.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 kpc = 0.001 Mpc
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 kpc = 0.005 Mpc
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 kpc = 0.01 Mpc
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
