Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to millimeters is 1000000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000000 millimeters:

1 km = 1000000 mm

To convert 256 kilometers into millimeters we have to multiply 256 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 1000000 mm

256 km → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 256 km × 1000000 mm

L_(mm) = 256000000 mm

The final result is:

256 km → 256000000 mm

We conclude that 256 kilometers is equivalent to 256000000 millimeters:

256 kilometers = 256000000 millimeters
