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 18 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 18 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

18 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 18 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.018 km

The final result is:

18 m → 0.018 km

We conclude that 18 meters is equivalent to 0.018 kilometers:

18 meters = 0.018 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 55.555555555556 × 18 meters.

Another way is saying that 18 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 55.555555555556 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighteen meters is approximately zero point zero one eight kilometers:

18 m ≅ 0.018 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately fifty-five point five five six times eighteen meters.
