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 4042 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 4042 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

4042 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4042 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 4.042 km

The final result is:

4042 m → 4.042 km

We conclude that 4042 meters is equivalent to 4.042 kilometers:

4042 meters = 4.042 kilometers
