Convert m2 to km2
This conversion helps you change a small area value into a bigger unit.
It is useful for land, maps, planning, and reports.
Quick Answer
1 m2 = 0.000001 km2
Example 1, 500 m2 = 0.0005 km2
Example 2, 250000 m2 = 0.25 km2
Conversion Formula
km2 = m2 ÷ 1,000,000
This means you divide square meters by one million to get square kilometers.
- Write your value in m2
- Divide it by 1,000,000
- The result is in km2
