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 389 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 389 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

389 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 389 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.389 km

The final result is:

389 m → 0.389 km

We conclude that 389 meters is equivalent to 0.389 kilometers:

389 meters = 0.389 kilometers
