      "q": "What is the formula to convert square kilometers to square meters?",
      "a": "Multiply the value in square kilometers by 1000000: square meters = square kilometers × 1000000. For example, 5 km² = 5000000 m²."

      "q": "How do I convert square meters back to square kilometers?",
      "a": "Multiply by the inverse factor 0.000001 (square kilometers = square meters × 0.000001), or use the square meters-to-square kilometers page."
