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 738 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 738 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

738 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 738 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.738 km

The final result is:

738 m → 0.738 km

We conclude that 738 meters is equivalent to 0.738 kilometers:

738 meters = 0.738 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.3550135501355 × 738 meters.
