Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 3000 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3000 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

3000 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3000 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.03 km

The final result is:

3000 cm → 0.03 km

We conclude that 3000 centimeters is equivalent to 0.03 kilometers:

3000 centimeters = 0.03 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 33.333333333333 × 3000 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 3000 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 33.333333333333 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand centimeters is approximately zero point zero three kilometers:

3000 cm ≅ 0.03 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately thirty-three point three three three times three thousand centimeters.
