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 188 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 188 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

188 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 188 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.188 km

The final result is:

188 m → 0.188 km

We conclude that 188 meters is equivalent to 0.188 kilometers:

188 meters = 0.188 kilometers
