There are 1,000 meters in a kilometer. So, to convert meters to kilometers, we have to divide the meters by 1,000.

One meter is 1/1,000th of a kilometer, so to convert meters to kilometers, we divide by 1,000. Let's do just one example.

500 meters is how many kilometers? [We have to divide 500 by 1,000 to get an answer.]

500 meters/1,000 = 0.5 kilometers [500 meters is 0.5 kilometers]

To convert kilometers to meters, you multiply the number of kilometers by 1000. This is because there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. For example, if you have 5 kilometers, you would multiply 5 by 1000 to get 5000 meters.

You can use a formula to figure out the conversions.

From km to miles.

The formula is: kilometers x 0.6214 = miles

If you want to convert miles to km, the formula is:

miles x 1.609 = kilometers

1000 m = 1 km

(1000 m) / (1 km) = 1

(1 km)/(1000 m) = 1

If you have x meters and you want the same amount in kilometers,

x meters = x meters * 1 = x meters * (1 km)/(1000 m)
Meters will cancel, and kilometers, x and 1000 will remain

(x km)/1000 is your answer

1 kilometer = 1000 meters. The prefix "kilo" means "one thousand."

So multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 to get the number of meters.

By definition a Kilometer is 1000 Meters (Kilo=1000).

Therefore to convert Meters into Kilometers you divide by 1000.

hm the conversion is as such 1km = 1000 m

so, multiply it by 1000

for e.g, to convert 5km to metres, you must multiply 5 by 1000 which is equal to 5000

Move the decimal three times to the right.
