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 550 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 550 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

550 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 550 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.55 km

The final result is:

550 m → 0.55 km

We conclude that 550 meters is equivalent to 0.55 kilometers:

550 meters = 0.55 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.8181818181818 × 550 meters.

Another way is saying that 550 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.8181818181818 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred fifty meters is approximately zero point five five kilometers:

550 m ≅ 0.55 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point eight one eight times five hundred fifty meters.
