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 857 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 857 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

857 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 857 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.857 km

The final result is:

857 m → 0.857 km

We conclude that 857 meters is equivalent to 0.857 kilometers:

857 meters = 0.857 kilometers
