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 402 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 402 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

402 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 402 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.402 km

The final result is:

402 m → 0.402 km

We conclude that 402 meters is equivalent to 0.402 kilometers:

402 meters = 0.402 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.4875621890547 × 402 meters.

Another way is saying that 402 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.4875621890547 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred two meters is approximately zero point four zero two kilometers:

402 m ≅ 0.402 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately two point four eight eight times four hundred two meters.
