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 1048 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1048 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

1048 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1048 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1048 km

The final result is:

1048 dm → 0.1048 km

We conclude that 1048 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1048 kilometers:

1048 decimeters = 0.1048 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 9.5419847328244 × 1048 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1048 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.5419847328244 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1048 dm ≅ 0.105 km

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