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 1388 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1388 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

1388 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1388 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1388 km

The final result is:

1388 dm → 0.1388 km

We conclude that 1388 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1388 kilometers:

1388 decimeters = 0.1388 kilometers

Alternative conversion
