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 237 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 237 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

237 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 237 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0237 km

The final result is:

237 dm → 0.0237 km

We conclude that 237 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0237 kilometers:

237 decimeters = 0.0237 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 42.194092827004 × 237 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 237 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 42.194092827004 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

237 dm ≅ 0.024 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately forty-two point one nine four times two hundred thirty-seven decimeters.
