How to convert kilometers per hour to speed of light

1 km/h = 9.26566931106 × 10⁻¹⁰ c, so multiply by 9.26566931106 to go from kilometers per hour to speed of light. Going the other way, 1 c = 1,079,252,848.8 km/h.

c = km/h × 9.26566931106
km/h = c × 1,079,252,848.8

Worked example:

1 km/h = 9.26566931106e-10 c
5 × 9.26566931106e-10 = 4.63283465553e-9 c
