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 2585 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 2585 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

2585 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2585 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 2.585 km

The final result is:

2585 m → 2.585 km

We conclude that 2585 meters is equivalent to 2.585 kilometers:

2585 meters = 2.585 kilometers
