How to Convert Millimeters to Kilometers
To convert a measurement in millimeters to a measurement in kilometers, divide the length by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000 millimeters/kilometer.
Since one kilometer is equal to 1,000,000 millimeters, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilometers = millimeters ÷ 1,000,000
The length in kilometers is equal to the length in millimeters divided by 1,000,000.
Our inch fraction calculator can add millimeters and kilometers together, and it also automatically converts the results to US customary, imperial, and SI metric values.
Millimeters and kilometers are both units used to measure length. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Millimeter?
One millimeter is equal to one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a meter, which is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. One millimeter is equal to 0.0393701 inches.
The millimeter, or millimetre, is a multiple of the meter, which is the SI base unit for length. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. Millimeters can be abbreviated as mm; for example, 1 millimeter can be written as 1 mm.
Millimeters are often represented by the smallest ticks on most metric rulers. To get a reference point of the size, the thickness of a US dime is 1.35mm.[1]
