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 553 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 553 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

553 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 553 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.553 km

The final result is:

553 m → 0.553 km

We conclude that 553 meters is equivalent to 0.553 kilometers:

553 meters = 0.553 kilometers
