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 856 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 856 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

856 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 856 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.856 km

The final result is:

856 m → 0.856 km

We conclude that 856 meters is equivalent to 0.856 kilometers:

856 meters = 0.856 kilometers
