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 1009 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1009 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

1009 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1009 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.009 km

The final result is:

1009 m → 1.009 km

We conclude that 1009 meters is equivalent to 1.009 kilometers:

1009 meters = 1.009 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.99108027750248 × 1009 meters.

Another way is saying that 1009 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.99108027750248 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1009 m ≅ 1.009 km

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