milli means x 10^(-3)
kilo means x 10^3
In fact, a "meter" is like 10^-3 kilometers. Just think about it:
10^-3 kilometers = 10^-3 10^3 meters = meters
So 428 millimeters is 428 x 10^-3 meters, but using our definition from meters above, we get:
428 x 10^-3 meters = 428 x 10^-3 x 10^-3 kilometers
That means:
428 x 10^-3 meters = 428 x 10^-6 kilometers
which is:
0.000428 kilometers

1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
1 meter = 0.001 kilometer
therefore
1 millimeter = 0.000001 kilometer
428 millimeter = 0.000428 kilometer
