To convert 5740 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 5740 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

5740 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 5740 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 5740000 m

The final result is:

5740 km → 5740000 m

We conclude that 5740 kilometers is equivalent to 5740000 meters:
