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 102 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 102 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

102 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 102 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0102 km

The final result is:

102 dm → 0.0102 km

We conclude that 102 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0102 kilometers:

102 decimeters = 0.0102 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 98.039215686275 × 102 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 102 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 98.039215686275 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

102 dm ≅ 0.01 km

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