Meters to Kilometers (m to km) Converter
1 meter (m) = 0.001 kilometers (km). To convert meters to kilometers, multiply by 0.001: 100 m × 0.001 = 0.1 km. Also searched as metre to kms, metres to kilometre, metres to kilometres.
Quick facts
- 1 m = 0.001 km
- 1 km = 1,000 m
- Formula: km = m × 0.001
- Quick estimate: multiply by about 0.001
How to convert meters to kilometers
- Take the value in meters.
- Multiply it by 0.001 (the number of kilometers in one meter).
- Round the result to the precision you need.
Worked example (a 100-metre sprint): 100 m × 0.001 = 0.1 km.
To convert kilometers back to meters, multiply by 1,000, or divide by 0.001.

What is a meter?
The SI base unit of length, originally defined from the Earth's meridian and now fixed by the speed of light. The standard unit of length across science, construction, and everyday use in most of the world.
What is a kilometer?
One thousand meters. Used for road distances and geography in every country except the US, UK, and Myanmar.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilometers are in a meter?
There are 0.001 kilometers in 1 meter (1 m = 0.001 km).
How many meters are in a kilometer?
There are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer (1 km = 1000 m).
How do I convert meters to kilometers?
Multiply the number of meters by 0.001. For example, 10 m × 0.001 = 0.01 km. To convert back, multiply by 1,000.
What is 10 m in kilometers?
10 m = 0.01 km.
What is 100 m in kilometers?
100 m = 0.1 km.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. The factor comes from the official definitions of both units (NIST Special Publication 811 (2008), Appendix B; the international yard and pound agreement of 1959 (1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly)). Results are shown to up to 10 decimal places; round them to suit your purpose.
