Kilometer to picometer converter (km to pm)

Conversion Formula

1 km = 1.0E+15 pm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilometer = 1000 meters
   1 pm = 1.0E-12 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 km = (1000 m) / (1.0E-12 m/pm) = 1.0E+15 pm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in km by 1.0E+15 to get the equivalent in pm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 km to pm:

5 km × 1.0E+15 = 5.0E+15 pm
