Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to meters is 1000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters:

1 km = 1000 m

To convert 1003 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 1003 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 1000 m

1003 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 1003 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 1003000 m

The final result is:

1003 km → 1003000 m

We conclude that 1003 kilometers is equivalent to 1003000 meters:

1003 kilometers = 1003000 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 9.9700897308076E-7 × 1003 kilometers.

Another way is saying that 1003 kilometers is equal to 1 ÷ 9.9700897308076E-7 meters.

Approximate result

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

1003 km ≅ 1003000 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero times one thousand three kilometers.
