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 472 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 472 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

472 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 472 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.472 km

The final result is:

472 m → 0.472 km

We conclude that 472 meters is equivalent to 0.472 kilometers:

472 meters = 0.472 kilometers
