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 988.5 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 988.5 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

988.5 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 988.5 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.9885 km

The final result is:

988.5 m → 0.9885 km

We conclude that 988.5 meters is equivalent to 0.9885 kilometers:

988.5 meters = 0.9885 kilometers
