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 1398 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1398 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

1398 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1398 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1398 km

The final result is:

1398 dm → 0.1398 km

We conclude that 1398 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1398 kilometers:

1398 decimeters = 0.1398 kilometers
