Conversion Formulas

From Kilometers to Meters

To convert from kilometer to meter, the conversion is simple. Since 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters, you just need to multiply the number of kilometers by 1,000.

Formula:

\text{Meters} = \text{Kilometers} \times 1,000

From Meters to Kilometers

To convert from meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1,000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters.

Formula:

\text{Kilometers} = \frac{\text{Meters}}{1,000}

These formulas make it easy to convert between kilometers and meters, whether you’re working with long distances or short measurements.

Example Conversions

1. Converting 5 Kilometers to Meters

To convert 5 kilometer to meter, simply multiply by 1,000:

5 , \text{km} \times 1,000 = 5,000 , \text{m}

Thus, 5 kilometer equals 5,000 meter.

2. Converting 2.5 Kilometers to Meters

To convert 2.5 kilometer to meter, multiply by 1,000:

2.5 , \text{km} \times 1,000 = 2,500 , \text{m}

So, 2.5 kilometer equals 2,500 meter.

3. Converting 1,200 Meters to Kilometers

To convert 1,200 meter to kilometer, divide by 1,000:

1,200 , \text{m} \div 1,000 = 1.2 , \text{km}

Thus, 1,200 meter equals 1.2 kilometer.

4. Converting 800 Meters to Kilometers

To convert 800 meter to kilometer, divide by 1,000:

800 , \text{m} \div 1,000 = 0.8 , \text{km}

So, 800 meter equals 0.8 kilometer.
