Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters to kilometers is 0.001, which means that 1 meter is equal to 0.001 kilometers:

1 m = 0.001 km

To convert 1001 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1001 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m → 0.001 km

1001 m → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 1001 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.001 km

The final result is:

1001 m → 1.001 km

We conclude that 1001 meters is equivalent to 1.001 kilometers:

1001 meters = 1.001 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.999000999001 × 1001 meters.

Another way is saying that 1001 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.999000999001 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand one meters is approximately one point zero zero one kilometers:

1001 m ≅ 1.001 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately zero point nine nine nine times one thousand one meters.
