meters = 1 kilometer
This statement is incorrect. 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters.
To convert from meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000.
So, if you have a certain number of meters, you can convert it to kilometers by dividing that number by 1000.
For example, if you have 5000 meters, you would divide 5000 by 1000 to get 5 kilometers.
