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 5006 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 5006 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

5006 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5006 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 5.006 km

The final result is:

5006 m → 5.006 km

We conclude that 5006 meters is equivalent to 5.006 kilometers:

5006 meters = 5.006 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.19976028765481 × 5006 meters.

Another way is saying that 5006 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.19976028765481 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand six meters is approximately five point zero zero six kilometers:

5006 m ≅ 5.006 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately zero point two times five thousand six meters.
