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 165 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 165 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

165 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 165 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0165 km

The final result is:

165 dm → 0.0165 km

We conclude that 165 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0165 kilometers:

165 decimeters = 0.0165 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 60.606060606061 × 165 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 165 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 60.606060606061 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

165 dm ≅ 0.017 km

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