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 1729 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1729 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

1729 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1729 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1729 km

The final result is:

1729 dm → 0.1729 km

We conclude that 1729 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1729 kilometers:

1729 decimeters = 0.1729 kilometers
