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 504.2 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 504.2 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

504.2 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 504.2 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.5042 km

The final result is:

504.2 m → 0.5042 km

We conclude that 504.2 meters is equivalent to 0.5042 kilometers:

504.2 meters = 0.5042 kilometers
