How to Convert Meters to Kilometers
To convert meters to kilometers, divide the value by 1000.
The Formula
Kilometers = Meters ÷ 1000
Key Fact
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Tip: To convert kilometers back to meters, multiply by 1000.
Meters to KM
Convert meters (m) to kilometers (km) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
m
km
1 m = 0.001 km
Full precision:0.001 km
Feet + Inches:129' 2"
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 meters to kilometers, we divide by 1000 because one kilometer equals exactly 1000 meters.
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Since there are 1000 meters in every kilometer, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 kilometers
So 1 meters = 0.001 kilometers.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 meters
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 m = 0.001 km
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 m = 0.005 km
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 m = 0.01 km
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
