Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 8400 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8400 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

8400 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8400 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.084 km

The final result is:

8400 cm → 0.084 km

We conclude that 8400 centimeters is equivalent to 0.084 kilometers:

8400 centimeters = 0.084 kilometers
