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 1003 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1003 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

1003 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1003 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.003 km

The final result is:

1003 m → 1.003 km

We conclude that 1003 meters is equivalent to 1.003 kilometers:

1003 meters = 1.003 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.99700897308076 × 1003 meters.

Another way is saying that 1003 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.99700897308076 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1003 m ≅ 1.003 km

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