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 489 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 489 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

489 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 489 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.489 km

The final result is:

489 m → 0.489 km

We conclude that 489 meters is equivalent to 0.489 kilometers:

489 meters = 0.489 kilometers
