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 1538 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 1538 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

1538 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1538 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 1.538 km

The final result is:

1538 m → 1.538 km

We conclude that 1538 meters is equivalent to 1.538 kilometers:

1538 meters = 1.538 kilometers
