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 6001 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 6001 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

6001 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6001 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 6.001 km

The final result is:

6001 m → 6.001 km

We conclude that 6001 meters is equivalent to 6.001 kilometers:

6001 meters = 6.001 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.16663889351775 × 6001 meters.

Another way is saying that 6001 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.16663889351775 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

6001 m ≅ 6.001 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately zero point one six seven times six thousand one meters.
