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 586 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 586 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

586 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 586 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.586 km

The final result is:

586 m → 0.586 km

We conclude that 586 meters is equivalent to 0.586 kilometers:

586 meters = 0.586 kilometers
