Meters to Kilometers Converter

How to convert meters to kilometers

kilometers = meters ÷ 1,000

The meter is the SI base unit of length. 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters (SI prefix kilo, 10³).

The factor is exact in both directions: 1 m = 0.001 km and 1 km = 1,000 m. Nothing is rounded until you choose how many decimals to show.

Worked example: 2,500 m

1. Start with the value in meters: 2,500 m.
2. Divide by 1,000, because 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters: 2,500 ÷ 1,000 = 2.5 km.
