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 1378 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1378 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

1378 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1378 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1378 km

The final result is:

1378 dm → 0.1378 km

We conclude that 1378 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1378 kilometers:

1378 decimeters = 0.1378 kilometers
