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 2171 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 2171 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

2171 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2171 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 2.171 km

The final result is:

2171 m → 2.171 km

We conclude that 2171 meters is equivalent to 2.171 kilometers:

2171 meters = 2.171 kilometers
