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 1247 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1247 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

1247 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1247 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.247 km

The final result is:

1247 m → 1.247 km

We conclude that 1247 meters is equivalent to 1.247 kilometers:

1247 meters = 1.247 kilometers
