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 101 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 101 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

101 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 101 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0101 km

The final result is:

101 dm → 0.0101 km

We conclude that 101 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0101 kilometers:

101 decimeters = 0.0101 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 99.009900990099 × 101 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 101 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 99.009900990099 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

101 dm ≅ 0.01 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately ninety-nine point zero one times one hundred one decimeters.
