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 285 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 285 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

285 m → L(km)

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

L(km) = 285 m × 0.001 km

L(km) = 0.285 km

The final result is:

285 m → 0.285 km

We conclude that 285 meters is equivalent to 0.285 kilometers:

285 meters = 0.285 kilometers
