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 55.9 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 55.9 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

55.9 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 55.9 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.0559 km

The final result is:

55.9 m → 0.0559 km

We conclude that 55.9 meters is equivalent to 0.0559 kilometers:

55.9 meters = 0.0559 kilometers
