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 1263 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1263 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

1263 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1263 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1263 km

The final result is:

1263 dm → 0.1263 km

We conclude that 1263 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1263 kilometers:

1263 decimeters = 0.1263 kilometers
