Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 600 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 600 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

600 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 600 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.006 km

The final result is:

600 cm → 0.006 km

We conclude that 600 centimeters is equivalent to 0.006 kilometers:

600 centimeters = 0.006 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 166.66666666667 × 600 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 600 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 166.66666666667 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred centimeters is approximately zero point zero zero six kilometers:

600 cm ≅ 0.006 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one hundred sixty-six point six six seven times six hundred centimeters.
