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 142.1 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 142.1 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

142.1 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 142.1 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.01421 km

The final result is:

142.1 dm → 0.01421 km

We conclude that 142.1 decimeters is equivalent to 0.01421 kilometers:

142.1 decimeters = 0.01421 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 70.372976776918 × 142.1 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 142.1 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 70.372976776918 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

142.1 dm ≅ 0.014 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately seventy point three seven three times one hundred forty-two point one decimeters.
