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 1689 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1689 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

1689 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1689 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1689 km

The final result is:

1689 dm → 0.1689 km

We conclude that 1689 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1689 kilometers:

1689 decimeters = 0.1689 kilometers
