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 87 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 87 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

87 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 87 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.087 km

The final result is:

87 m → 0.087 km

We conclude that 87 meters is equivalent to 0.087 kilometers:

87 meters = 0.087 kilometers
