Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-6, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 1.0E-6 kilometers:

1 mm = 1.0E-6 km

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

1 mm → 1.0E-6 km

3000 mm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3000 mm × 1.0E-6 km

L_(km) = 0.003 km

The final result is:

3000 mm → 0.003 km

We conclude that 3000 millimeters is equivalent to 0.003 kilometers:

3000 millimeters = 0.003 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 333.33333333333 × 3000 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 3000 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 333.33333333333 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

3000 mm ≅ 0.003 km

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