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 9997 meters into kilometers we have to multiply 9997 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

9997 m → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 9997 m × 0.001 km

L_(km) = 9.997 km

The final result is:

9997 m → 9.997 km

We conclude that 9997 meters is equivalent to 9.997 kilometers:

9997 meters = 9.997 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 0.1000300090027 × 9997 meters.

Another way is saying that 9997 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.1000300090027 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine thousand nine hundred ninety-seven meters is approximately nine point nine nine seven kilometers:

9997 m ≅ 9.997 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately zero point one times nine thousand nine hundred ninety-seven meters.
