Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 10.2 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 10.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

10.2 dm → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 10.2 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.00102 km

The final result is:

10.2 dm → 0.00102 km

We conclude that 10.2 decimeters is equivalent to 0.00102 kilometers:

10.2 decimeters = 0.00102 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 980.39215686275 × 10.2 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 10.2 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 980.39215686275 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten point two decimeters is approximately zero point zero zero one kilometers:

10.2 dm ≅ 0.001 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately nine hundred eighty point three nine two times ten point two decimeters.
