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 1002.9 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1002.9 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

1002.9 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1002.9 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.0029 km

The final result is:

1002.9 m → 1.0029 km

We conclude that 1002.9 meters is equivalent to 1.0029 kilometers:

1002.9 meters = 1.0029 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.99710838568152 × 1002.9 meters.

Another way is saying that 1002.9 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.99710838568152 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1002.9 m ≅ 1.003 km

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