Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 5500 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5500 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

5500 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5500 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.055 km

The final result is:

5500 cm → 0.055 km

We conclude that 5500 centimeters is equivalent to 0.055 kilometers:

5500 centimeters = 0.055 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 18.181818181818 × 5500 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 5500 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 18.181818181818 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

5500 cm ≅ 0.055 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eighteen point one eight two times five thousand five hundred centimeters.
