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 1080 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1080 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

1080 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1080 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.108 km

The final result is:

1080 dm → 0.108 km

We conclude that 1080 decimeters is equivalent to 0.108 kilometers:

1080 decimeters = 0.108 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 9.2592592592593 × 1080 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1080 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.2592592592593 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1080 dm ≅ 0.108 km

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