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 1002 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1002 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

1002 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1002 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1002 km

The final result is:

1002 dm → 0.1002 km

We conclude that 1002 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1002 kilometers:

1002 decimeters = 0.1002 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 9.9800399201597 × 1002 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1002 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.9800399201597 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1002 dm ≅ 0.1 km

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