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 23 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 23 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

23 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 23 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0023 km

The final result is:

23 dm → 0.0023 km

We conclude that 23 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0023 kilometers:

23 decimeters = 0.0023 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 434.78260869565 × 23 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 23 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 434.78260869565 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

23 dm ≅ 0.002 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately four hundred thirty-four point seven eight three times twenty-three decimeters.
