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 1698 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1698 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

1698 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1698 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1698 km

The final result is:

1698 dm → 0.1698 km

We conclude that 1698 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1698 kilometers:

1698 decimeters = 0.1698 kilometers
