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 1171 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1171 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

1171 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1171 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1171 km

The final result is:

1171 dm → 0.1171 km

We conclude that 1171 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1171 kilometers:

1171 decimeters = 0.1171 kilometers
