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 1197 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1197 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

1197 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1197 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1197 km

The final result is:

1197 dm → 0.1197 km

We conclude that 1197 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1197 kilometers:

1197 decimeters = 0.1197 kilometers
