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 72.7 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 72.7 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

72.7 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 72.7 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.0727 km

The final result is:

72.7 m → 0.0727 km

We conclude that 72.7 meters is equivalent to 0.0727 kilometers:

72.7 meters = 0.0727 kilometers
