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 1496 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1496 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

1496 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1496 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.496 km

The final result is:

1496 m → 1.496 km

We conclude that 1496 meters is equivalent to 1.496 kilometers:

1496 meters = 1.496 kilometers
