km
1 ftm = 0.001829 km
Full precision:0.0018288 km
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 fathoms to kilometers, we divide by 546.807 because one kilometer equals exactly 546.807 fathoms.
1 kilometer = 546.807 fathoms
Since there are 546.807 fathoms in every kilometer, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 546.807 = 0.001829 kilometers
So 1 fathoms = 0.001829 kilometers.
Quick check: 0.001829 × 546.807 = 1 fathoms
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 ftm = 0.001829 km
1 ÷ 546.807 = 0.001829
1 ÷ 546.807 = 0.001829
Example 2: 5 ftm = 0.009144 km
5 ÷ 546.807 = 0.009144
5 ÷ 546.807 = 0.009144
Example 3: 10 ftm = 0.018288 km
10 ÷ 546.807 = 0.018288
10 ÷ 546.807 = 0.018288
