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 2001 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2001 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

2001 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2001 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.2001 km

The final result is:

2001 dm → 0.2001 km

We conclude that 2001 decimeters is equivalent to 0.2001 kilometers:

2001 decimeters = 0.2001 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 4.9975012493753 × 2001 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 2001 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 4.9975012493753 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

2001 dm ≅ 0.2 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately four point nine nine eight times two thousand one decimeters.
