Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 503 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 503 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

503 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 503 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.00503 km

The final result is:

503 cm → 0.00503 km

We conclude that 503 centimeters is equivalent to 0.00503 kilometers:

503 centimeters = 0.00503 kilometers
