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 423.7 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 423.7 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

423.7 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 423.7 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.4237 km

The final result is:

423.7 m → 0.4237 km

We conclude that 423.7 meters is equivalent to 0.4237 kilometers:

423.7 meters = 0.4237 kilometers
