Converting km to m
1 kilometre (km) is the same as 1000 metres (m).
2 km = 2000 m
2.5 km = 2500 m
An easy way to convert from kilometres to metres is to multiply the number by 1000.
4 km to m: 4 km x 1000 = 4000 m
To convert from metres to kilometres we divide the number by 1000.
5000 m to km: 5000 m ÷ 1000 = 5 km
Have a look at what these measurements mean:
3.4 km means 3 km 400 m
55.7 km means 55 km 700 m or 55700 m
22.1 km means 22 km 100 m or 22100 m
0.8 km means 800 m
Example 1:
Convert 5 km to m
Answer: 5000 m
Example 2:
Convert 4600 m to km
Answer: 4.6 km
