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 817 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 817 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

817 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 817 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.817 km

The final result is:

817 m → 0.817 km

We conclude that 817 meters is equivalent to 0.817 kilometers:

817 meters = 0.817 kilometers
