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 125 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 125 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

125 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 125 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0125 km

The final result is:

125 dm → 0.0125 km

We conclude that 125 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0125 kilometers:

125 decimeters = 0.0125 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 80 × 125 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 125 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 80 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

125 dm ≅ 0.013 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eighty times one hundred twenty-five decimeters.
