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 272 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 272 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

272 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 272 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.272 km

The final result is:

272 m → 0.272 km

We conclude that 272 meters is equivalent to 0.272 kilometers:

272 meters = 0.272 kilometers
