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 503 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 503 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

503 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 503 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.503 km

The final result is:

503 m → 0.503 km

We conclude that 503 meters is equivalent to 0.503 kilometers:

503 meters = 0.503 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.9880715705765 × 503 meters.

Another way is saying that 503 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.9880715705765 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

503 m ≅ 0.503 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point nine eight eight times five hundred three meters.
