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 531 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 531 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

531 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 531 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.531 km

The final result is:

531 m → 0.531 km

We conclude that 531 meters is equivalent to 0.531 kilometers:

531 meters = 0.531 kilometers
