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 1237 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1237 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

1237 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1237 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.237 km

The final result is:

1237 m → 1.237 km

We conclude that 1237 meters is equivalent to 1.237 kilometers:

1237 meters = 1.237 kilometers
