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 47.9 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 47.9 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

47.9 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 47.9 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.0479 km

The final result is:

47.9 m → 0.0479 km

We conclude that 47.9 meters is equivalent to 0.0479 kilometers:

47.9 meters = 0.0479 kilometers
