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 862 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 862 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

862 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 862 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.862 km

The final result is:

862 m → 0.862 km

We conclude that 862 meters is equivalent to 0.862 kilometers:

862 meters = 0.862 kilometers
