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 717 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 717 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

717 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 717 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.717 km

The final result is:

717 m → 0.717 km

We conclude that 717 meters is equivalent to 0.717 kilometers:

717 meters = 0.717 kilometers
