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 1265 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1265 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

1265 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1265 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.265 km

The final result is:

1265 m → 1.265 km

We conclude that 1265 meters is equivalent to 1.265 kilometers:

1265 meters = 1.265 kilometers
