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 1047 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1047 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

1047 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1047 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.047 km

The final result is:

1047 m → 1.047 km

We conclude that 1047 meters is equivalent to 1.047 kilometers:

1047 meters = 1.047 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.95510983763133 × 1047 meters.

Another way is saying that 1047 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.95510983763133 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1047 m ≅ 1.047 km

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