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 1097 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1097 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

1097 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1097 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1097 km

The final result is:

1097 dm → 0.1097 km

We conclude that 1097 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1097 kilometers:

1097 decimeters = 0.1097 kilometers

Alternative conversion
