Formula

au/c = A163103/A003678 = A163103*A182998.

Example

au = 149597870700 meters. c = 299792458 meter/second.
au/c = 499.00478383615641191347115209949677920183035425127339... seconds.

(PARI) 149597870700/299792458. \\ To get a comma separated list of digits, use digits(%\.1^N), where N must be strictly less than the realprecision setting: e.g., %\.1^default(realprecision) yields an error due to insufficient precision. - M. F. Hasler, Sep 20 2017
