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 5071 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 5071 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

5071 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5071 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 5.071 km

The final result is:

5071 m → 5.071 km

We conclude that 5071 meters is equivalent to 5.071 kilometers:

5071 meters = 5.071 kilometers
