Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-6, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 1.0E-6 kilometers:

1 mm = 1.0E-6 km

To convert 16 millimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 16 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from millimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mm → 1.0E-6 km

16 mm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 16 mm × 1.0E-6 km

L_(km) = 1.6E-5 km

The final result is:

16 mm → 1.6E-5 km

We conclude that 16 millimeters is equivalent to 1.6E-5 kilometers:

16 millimeters = 1.6E-5 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 62500 × 16 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 16 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 62500 kilometers.
