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 3431 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 3431 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

3431 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3431 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 3.431 km

The final result is:

3431 m → 3.431 km

We conclude that 3431 meters is equivalent to 3.431 kilometers:

3431 meters = 3.431 kilometers
