To convert 870 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 870 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 1000 m

870 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 870 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 870000 m

The final result is:

870 km → 870000 m

We conclude that 870 kilometers is equivalent to 870000 meters:

870 kilometers = 870000 meters
