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 1001.6 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1001.6 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

1001.6 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1001.6 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.10016 km

The final result is:

1001.6 dm → 0.10016 km

We conclude that 1001.6 decimeters is equivalent to 0.10016 kilometers:

1001.6 decimeters = 0.10016 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 9.9840255591054 × 1001.6 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1001.6 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.9840255591054 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1001.6 dm ≅ 0.1 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately nine point nine eight four times one thousand one point six decimeters.
