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 742.1 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 742.1 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

742.1 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 742.1 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.7421 km

The final result is:

742.1 m → 0.7421 km

We conclude that 742.1 meters is equivalent to 0.7421 kilometers:

742.1 meters = 0.7421 kilometers
