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 262 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 262 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

262 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 262 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.262 km

The final result is:

262 m → 0.262 km

We conclude that 262 meters is equivalent to 0.262 kilometers:

262 meters = 0.262 kilometers
