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 1142 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1142 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

1142 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1142 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1142 km

The final result is:

1142 dm → 0.1142 km

We conclude that 1142 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1142 kilometers:

1142 decimeters = 0.1142 kilometers
