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 3720 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 3720 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

3720 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3720 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 3.72 km

The final result is:

3720 m → 3.72 km

We conclude that 3720 meters is equivalent to 3.72 kilometers:

3720 meters = 3.72 kilometers
