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 125 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 125 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

125 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 125 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.125 km

The final result is:

125 m → 0.125 km

We conclude that 125 meters is equivalent to 0.125 kilometers:

125 meters = 0.125 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 8 × 125 meters.

Another way is saying that 125 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 8 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

125 m ≅ 0.125 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eight times one hundred twenty-five meters.
