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 250 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 250 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

250 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 250 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 250000 m

The final result is:

250 km → 250000 m

We conclude that 250 kilometers is equivalent to 250000 meters:

250 kilometers = 250000 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 4.0E-6 × 250 kilometers.

Another way is saying that 250 kilometers is equal to 1 ÷ 4.0E-6 meters.

Approximate result

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

250 km ≅ 250000 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero times two hundred fifty kilometers.
