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 118 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 118 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

118 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 118 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0118 km

The final result is:

118 dm → 0.0118 km

We conclude that 118 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0118 kilometers:

118 decimeters = 0.0118 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 84.745762711864 × 118 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 118 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 84.745762711864 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred eighteen decimeters is approximately zero point zero one two kilometers:

118 dm ≅ 0.012 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eighty-four point seven four six times one hundred eighteen decimeters.
