Kilometer (abbreviation: km): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one thousand metres (kilo- being the prefix for 1000). It is now the measurement unit used officially for expressing distances between geographical places on land in most of the world countries.
Millimeter (abbreviation: mm): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one thousandth of a metre. Therefore, there are thousand millimetres in a metre and ten millimetres in a centimetre.
How to Convert Kilometers to Millimeters
Example: How many millimeters are equivalent to 92.34 kilometers?
As;
1 kilometers = 1000000 millimeters
92.34 kilometers = Y millimeters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 92.34 times 1000000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 92.34 * 1000000 / 1 = 92340000 millimeters
Answer is: 92340000 millimeters are equivalent to 92.34 kilometers.
