Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to meters is 1000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters:

1 km = 1000 m

To convert 2008 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 2008 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 1000 m

2008 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 2008 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 2008000 m

The final result is:

2008 km → 2008000 m

We conclude that 2008 kilometers is equivalent to 2008000 meters:

2008 kilometers = 2008000 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 4.9800796812749E-7 × 2008 kilometers.

Another way is saying that 2008 kilometers is equal to 1 ÷ 4.9800796812749E-7 meters.

Approximate result

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

2008 km ≅ 2008000 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero times two thousand eight kilometers.
