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 200 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 200 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

200 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 200 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.2 km

The final result is:

200 m → 0.2 km

We conclude that 200 meters is equivalent to 0.2 kilometers:

200 meters = 0.2 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 5 × 200 meters.

Another way is saying that 200 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 5 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

200 m ≅ 0.2 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately five times two hundred meters.
