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 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 142 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 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 142 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0142 km

The final result is:

142 dm → 0.0142 km

We conclude that 142 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0142 kilometers:

142 decimeters = 0.0142 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 70.422535211268 × 142 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 142 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 70.422535211268 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 decimeters is approximately zero point zero one four kilometers:

142 dm ≅ 0.014 km

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