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 2997 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 2997 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

2997 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2997 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 2.997 km

The final result is:

2997 m → 2.997 km

We conclude that 2997 meters is equivalent to 2.997 kilometers:

2997 meters = 2.997 kilometers
