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 160 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 160 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

160 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 160 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.016 km

The final result is:

160 dm → 0.016 km

We conclude that 160 decimeters is equivalent to 0.016 kilometers:

160 decimeters = 0.016 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 62.5 × 160 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 160 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 62.5 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

160 dm ≅ 0.016 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately sixty-two point five times one hundred sixty decimeters.
