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 2020 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2020 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

2020 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2020 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.202 km

The final result is:

2020 dm → 0.202 km

We conclude that 2020 decimeters is equivalent to 0.202 kilometers:

2020 decimeters = 0.202 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 4.950495049505 × 2020 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 2020 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 4.950495049505 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

2020 dm ≅ 0.202 km

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