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 473 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 473 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

473 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 473 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.473 km

The final result is:

473 m → 0.473 km

We conclude that 473 meters is equivalent to 0.473 kilometers:

473 meters = 0.473 kilometers
