Let us first calculate the total distance in mm


2.4\cdot10^4\cdot810=1944\cdot10^4\operatorname{mm}=1.944\cdot10^7\operatorname{mm}

we know that to convert from mm to km we have to multiply by 10^-6. So we have that the total distance in km is


1.944\cdot10^7\cdot10^(-6)\operatorname{km}=1.944\cdot10^1\operatorname{km}=19.44\operatorname{km}
