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 427.7 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 427.7 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

427.7 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 427.7 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.4277 km

The final result is:

427.7 m → 0.4277 km

We conclude that 427.7 meters is equivalent to 0.4277 kilometers:

427.7 meters = 0.4277 kilometers
