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 426 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 426 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

426 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 426 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.426 km

The final result is:

426 m → 0.426 km

We conclude that 426 meters is equivalent to 0.426 kilometers:

426 meters = 0.426 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.3474178403756 × 426 meters.

Another way is saying that 426 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3474178403756 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

426 m ≅ 0.426 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately two point three four seven times four hundred twenty-six meters.
