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 6048 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 6048 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

6048 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6048 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 6.048 km

The final result is:

6048 m → 6.048 km

We conclude that 6048 meters is equivalent to 6.048 kilometers:

6048 meters = 6.048 kilometers
