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 972 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 972 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

972 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 972 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.972 km

The final result is:

972 m → 0.972 km

We conclude that 972 meters is equivalent to 0.972 kilometers:

972 meters = 0.972 kilometers
