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 2968 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 2968 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

2968 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2968 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 2.968 km

The final result is:

2968 m → 2.968 km

We conclude that 2968 meters is equivalent to 2.968 kilometers:

2968 meters = 2.968 kilometers
