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 1055 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1055 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

1055 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1055 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1055 km

The final result is:

1055 dm → 0.1055 km

We conclude that 1055 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1055 kilometers:

1055 decimeters = 0.1055 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 9.478672985782 × 1055 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1055 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.478672985782 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1055 dm ≅ 0.106 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately nine point four seven nine times one thousand fifty-five decimeters.
