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 1248 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1248 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

1248 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1248 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.248 km

The final result is:

1248 m → 1.248 km

We conclude that 1248 meters is equivalent to 1.248 kilometers:

1248 meters = 1.248 kilometers
