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 1201 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1201 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

1201 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1201 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.201 km

The final result is:

1201 m → 1.201 km

We conclude that 1201 meters is equivalent to 1.201 kilometers:

1201 meters = 1.201 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.83263946711074 × 1201 meters.

Another way is saying that 1201 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.83263946711074 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 one meters is approximately one point two zero one kilometers:

1201 m ≅ 1.201 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately zero point eight three three times one thousand two hundred one meters.
