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 1696 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1696 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

1696 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1696 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1696 km

The final result is:

1696 dm → 0.1696 km

We conclude that 1696 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1696 kilometers:

1696 decimeters = 0.1696 kilometers
