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 180 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 180 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

180 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 180 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.018 km

The final result is:

180 dm → 0.018 km

We conclude that 180 decimeters is equivalent to 0.018 kilometers:

180 decimeters = 0.018 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 55.555555555556 × 180 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 180 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 55.555555555556 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

180 dm ≅ 0.018 km

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