Conversion Formulas

Since meters and kilometers are part of the same measurement system, converting between them is straightforward.

1. Meters to Kilometers

$$\text{Kilometers (km)}=\text{Meters (m)}÷1000$$

Example:
Convert 5000 meters to kilometers.

$$5000\text{m}÷1000=5\text{km}$$

2. Kilometers to Meters

$$\text{Meters (m)}=\text{Kilometers (km)}\times 1000$$

Example:
Convert 3.5 kilometers to meters.

$$3.5\text{km}\times 1000=3500\text{m}$$
