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 258 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 258 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

258 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 258 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.258 km

The final result is:

258 m → 0.258 km

We conclude that 258 meters is equivalent to 0.258 kilometers:

258 meters = 0.258 kilometers
