Convert kilometers to meters |
|
The calculator allows you to convert kilometers to meters. Perform the reverse calculation: convert meters to kilometers |
1 m = 0.001 km = 1 / 1000 km |
To convert kilometers to meters, multiply by 1000. ExampleWe are going to convert a distance d of 1.2 kilometers to meters.Distance d = 1.2 km 1 km = 1000 m d = 1.2 km = 1.2 x 1000 = 1200 m Other examplesTo convert kilometers (km) to meters (m), you need to multiply the distance value by 1000.For example: 0.75 km = 0.75 x 1000 = 750 m 2.5 km = 2.5 x 1000 = 2500 m 3.2 km = 3.2 x 1000 = 3200 m 5 km = 5 x 1000 = 5000 m 7.5 km = 7.5 x 1000 = 7500 m 10 km = 10 x 1000 = 10000 m 15.8 km = 15.8 x 1000 = 15800 m 20 km = 20 x 1000 = 20000 m 42.1 km = 42.1 x 1000 = 42100 m Conversion table kilometers to meters (km to m)
KilometersA kilometer, often abbreviated as "km", is a unit of length or distance in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as 1 000 meters. One notable use of kilometers is in the sport of running, where the standard race distances range from 5 kilometers to a full marathon of 42.195 kilometers. "Kilo" is a prefix that means "thousand" in the International System of Units (SI). It is represented by the symbol "k". It is commonly used to express quantities such as mass, distance, and time. For example, one kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, one kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, and one kilosecond is equal to 1000 seconds.MetersThe meter is the basic unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for meter is "m". Meters are a unit of measurement commonly used to measure length or distance. The meter can be divided into smaller units, such as centimeters or millimeters, or into larger units, such as kilometers. |
