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 118 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 118 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

118 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 118 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 118000 m

The final result is:

118 km → 118000 m

We conclude that 118 kilometers is equivalent to 118000 meters:

118 kilometers = 118000 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 8.4745762711864E-6 × 118 kilometers.

Another way is saying that 118 kilometers is equal to 1 ÷ 8.4745762711864E-6 meters.

Approximate result

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

118 km ≅ 118000 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero times one hundred eighteen kilometers.
