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 471 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 471 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

471 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 471 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.471 km

The final result is:

471 m → 0.471 km

We conclude that 471 meters is equivalent to 0.471 kilometers:

471 meters = 0.471 kilometers
