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 117 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 117 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

117 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 117 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.117 km

The final result is:

117 m → 0.117 km

We conclude that 117 meters is equivalent to 0.117 kilometers:

117 meters = 0.117 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 8.5470085470085 × 117 meters.
