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 1162 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1162 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

1162 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1162 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1162 km

The final result is:

1162 dm → 0.1162 km

We conclude that 1162 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1162 kilometers:

1162 decimeters = 0.1162 kilometers
