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 511 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 511 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

511 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 511 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.511 km

The final result is:

511 m → 0.511 km

We conclude that 511 meters is equivalent to 0.511 kilometers:

511 meters = 0.511 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.9569471624266 × 511 meters.

Another way is saying that 511 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.9569471624266 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

511 m ≅ 0.511 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point nine five seven times five hundred eleven meters.
