Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 1200 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1200 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

1200 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1200 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.012 km

The final result is:

1200 cm → 0.012 km

We conclude that 1200 centimeters is equivalent to 0.012 kilometers:

1200 centimeters = 0.012 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 83.333333333333 × 1200 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1200 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 83.333333333333 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1200 cm ≅ 0.012 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eighty-three point three three three times one thousand two hundred centimeters.
