To convert a measurement in square millimeters to a measurement in square kilometers, divide the area by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000,000,000 square millimeters/square kilometer.

Since one square kilometer is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 square millimeters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

square kilometers = square millimeters ÷ 1,000,000,000,000

The area in square kilometers is equal to the area in square millimeters divided by 1,000,000,000,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000,000 square millimeters to square kilometers using the formula above.
square kilometers = (5,000,000 sq mm ÷ 1,000,000,000,000) = 5.0E-6 sq km

Square millimeters and square kilometers are both units used to measure area. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
