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 2397 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2397 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

2397 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2397 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.2397 km

The final result is:

2397 dm → 0.2397 km

We conclude that 2397 decimeters is equivalent to 0.2397 kilometers:

2397 decimeters = 0.2397 kilometers
