Converting the other way: kilometers to micrometers
micrometers = kilometers × 1,000,000,000. So 7.5e-8 kilometers is back to 75 micrometers; one kilometer is 1,000,000,000 micrometers. See the kilometers to micrometers table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 1e-9: 75 × 1e-9 ≈ 7.5e-8 km, against the exact 7.5e-8 km (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A micrometer is smaller than a kilometer, so the number of kilometers must come out smaller than the number of micrometers. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
About the units
Micrometer (um) and kilometer (km) are both units of length. One micrometer equals 1e-9 kilometers, and one kilometer equals 1,000,000,000 micrometers. Results on this page are rounded for display; the conversion itself uses the exact definitions.
Length conversions come up in DIY and building plans, running and cycling distances, maps, clothing sizes and travel between countries that use metric and imperial units.
