Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to meters is 1000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters:

1 km = 1000 m

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

1 km → 1000 m

5500 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 5500 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 5500000 m

The final result is:

5500 km → 5500000 m

We conclude that 5500 kilometers is equivalent to 5500000 meters:

5500 kilometers = 5500000 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 1.8181818181818E-7 × 5500 kilometers.

Another way is saying that 5500 kilometers is equal to 1 ÷ 1.8181818181818E-7 meters.

Approximate result

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

5500 km ≅ 5500000 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero times five thousand five hundred kilometers.
