Metric Interrelationships

Conversions from a multiple or submultiple to the basic units of
meters, liters, or grams can be done using the table. For example, to
convert from kilometers to meters, multiply by 1,000 (9.26 kilometers
equals 9,260 meters) or to convert from meters to kilometers, multiply
by 0.001 (9,260 meters equals 9.26 kilometers).
