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 521 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 521 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

521 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 521 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.521 km

The final result is:

521 m → 0.521 km

We conclude that 521 meters is equivalent to 0.521 kilometers:

521 meters = 0.521 kilometers
