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 2398 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2398 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

2398 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2398 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.2398 km

The final result is:

2398 dm → 0.2398 km

We conclude that 2398 decimeters is equivalent to 0.2398 kilometers:

2398 decimeters = 0.2398 kilometers
