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 388 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 388 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

388 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 388 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.388 km

The final result is:

388 m → 0.388 km

We conclude that 388 meters is equivalent to 0.388 kilometers:

388 meters = 0.388 kilometers
