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 983 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 983 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

983 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 983 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.983 km

The final result is:

983 m → 0.983 km

We conclude that 983 meters is equivalent to 0.983 kilometers:

983 meters = 0.983 kilometers
