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 688 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 688 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

688 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 688 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.688 km

The final result is:

688 m → 0.688 km

We conclude that 688 meters is equivalent to 0.688 kilometers:

688 meters = 0.688 kilometers
