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 1172 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1172 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

1172 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1172 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1172 km

The final result is:

1172 dm → 0.1172 km

We conclude that 1172 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1172 kilometers:

1172 decimeters = 0.1172 kilometers
