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 252 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 252 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

252 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 252 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.252 km

The final result is:

252 m → 0.252 km

We conclude that 252 meters is equivalent to 0.252 kilometers:

252 meters = 0.252 kilometers
