How to perform key conversions involving length measurements
The formulas for conversion are represented below:
Kilometer to Micrometer Formula
µm = km x 1000000000
Example: 30 kilometers in Micrometers:
µm = km x 1000000000
µm = 30 x 1000000000
µm = 3000000000
Micrometer to Kilometer Formula
km = µm / 1000000000
Example: 1500 Micrometers in kilometers:
km = µm / 1000000000
km = 1500 / 1000000000
km = 1,5 x 10-5
Frequently asked questions involving length and distance
1.5 km in Micrometers
Considering that 1 kilometer is equivalent to 1000000000 micrometers, you can use a rule of three to get that 1.5 km equals 1500000000 micrometers.
1 km - 1000000000 µm
1,5 km - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x km = 1.500.000.000 µkm2
x = 1.500.000.000 µm
1000000 Micrometers equal how many Kilometers?
If every 1,000,000,000 Micrometers we have 1 kilometer, just divide the number of Micrometers (1000000) by 1000000000, so you will obtain that 1000000 µm equals 0.01 km. Observe the calculation below:
km = µm / 1000000000
Km = 1000000 / 1000000000
km = 0,01
