Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to millimeters is 1000000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000000 millimeters:

1 km = 1000000 mm

To convert 550 kilometers into millimeters we have to multiply 550 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 1000000 mm

550 km → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 550 km × 1000000 mm

L_(mm) = 550000000 mm

The final result is:

550 km → 550000000 mm

We conclude that 550 kilometers is equivalent to 550000000 millimeters:

550 kilometers = 550000000 millimeters
