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 513 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 513 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

513 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 513 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.513 km

The final result is:

513 m → 0.513 km

We conclude that 513 meters is equivalent to 0.513 kilometers:

513 meters = 0.513 kilometers
