In short

How many meters is 100 kilometers?

100 km = 100,000 m. 1 kilometer = 1,000.000000 meters, so the working is 100 × 1,000.000000 = 100,000.

The working

The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.

1 kilometer = 1,000.000000 meters
100 × 1,000.000000 = 100,000

How much precision do you need?

Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.

Round trip: take 100,000 m back the other way and you land on 100.0000 km — a drift of 0.0000 km. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
