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 505.2 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 505.2 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

505.2 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 505.2 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.5052 km

The final result is:

505.2 m → 0.5052 km

We conclude that 505.2 meters is equivalent to 0.5052 kilometers:

505.2 meters = 0.5052 kilometers
