How to convert meters per second to speed of light

1 c = 299,792,458 m/s, so divide by 299,792,458 to go from meters per second to speed of light (1 m/s = 3.33564095198 × 10⁻⁹ c).

c = m/s ÷ 299,792,458
m/s = c × 299,792,458

Worked example:

1 m/s = 3.33564095198e-9 c
5 × 3.33564095198e-9 = 1.66782047599e-8 c
