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 1442 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1442 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

1442 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1442 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1442 km

The final result is:

1442 dm → 0.1442 km

We conclude that 1442 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1442 kilometers:

1442 decimeters = 0.1442 kilometers
