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 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 427 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 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 427 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.427 km

The final result is:

427 m → 0.427 km

We conclude that 427 meters is equivalent to 0.427 kilometers:

427 meters = 0.427 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.3419203747073 × 427 meters.

Another way is saying that 427 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3419203747073 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

427 m ≅ 0.427 km

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