Convert millimeters to kilometers with this simple formula:

kilometers = millimeters × 1.0E-6

Converting a millimeter length measurement to a kilometer measurement involves multiplying the length by the conversion ratio to find the result. One millimeter is equal to 1.0E-6 kilometers, so to convert simply multiply by 1.0E-6.

For example, here's how to convert 5 millimeters to kilometers using the formula above.

5 mm = (5 × 1.0E-6) = 5.0E-6 km

Millimeter is spelled millimetre internationally, and it is equal in length to .1 centimeters, 1000 micrometers, or ⁵/₁₂₇ inch. They are represented by the smallest ticks on most metric rulers. To get a reference point of the size, the thickness of a dime is 1.35mm.

To get an idea of how small a millimeter is, a dime is 1.35mm thick.

We recommend using a ruler or tape measure for measuring length, which can be found at a local retailer or home center. Rulers are available in imperial, metric, or combination with both values, so make sure you get the correct type for your needs. If you need a ruler you can also download and print our free printable rulers which include both imperial and metric measurements.
