1 meter equals 0.001 kilometers
How to convert meters to kilometers
Feet, inches, yards and miles use the international foot (0.3048 m). Older US survey-foot records use a different definition; check the survey document before applying these factors.
km = m ÷ 1000One kilometer corresponds to 1000 meters, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.
0.01 km = 10 ÷ 1000Meters to kilometers conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
