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 642.1 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 642.1 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

642.1 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 642.1 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.6421 km

The final result is:

642.1 m → 0.6421 km

We conclude that 642.1 meters is equivalent to 0.6421 kilometers:

642.1 meters = 0.6421 kilometers
