How to convert 817 kilometers to meters?

We know (by definition) that: $1 km = 1000 m$

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of meters.

\frac{1 km}{817 km} = \frac{1000 m}{x m}

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown $x$ :

x m = \frac{817 km}{1 km} * 1000 m \to x m = 817000 m

Conclusion: $817 km = 817000 m$

817 kilometers is equivalent to 817000 meters
