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 993 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 993 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

993 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 993 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 0.993 km

The final result is:

993 m → 0.993 km

We conclude that 993 meters is equivalent to 0.993 kilometers:

993 meters = 0.993 kilometers
