This question cannot be answered sensibly. A kilometre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. A degree is a measure of angular displacement, with no true dimensions (it is a ratio of the arc of a circle to the circumference of the circle). Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

The distance covered by one degree of latitude is constant and is approximately 111 kilometers. The distance covered by one degree of longitude varies depending on the latitude, but it is also around 111 kilometers at the equator, decreasing as you move towards the poles.

Generally speaking there are 111,034 meters per degree, but the accuracy of that varies by latitude and longitude.
