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 585 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 585 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

585 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 585 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.585 km

The final result is:

585 m → 0.585 km

We conclude that 585 meters is equivalent to 0.585 kilometers:

585 meters = 0.585 kilometers
