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 3271 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 3271 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

3271 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3271 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 3.271 km

The final result is:

3271 m → 3.271 km

We conclude that 3271 meters is equivalent to 3.271 kilometers:

3271 meters = 3.271 kilometers
