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 24.7 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 24.7 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

24.7 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 24.7 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.00247 km

The final result is:

24.7 dm → 0.00247 km

We conclude that 24.7 decimeters is equivalent to 0.00247 kilometers:

24.7 decimeters = 0.00247 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 404.85829959514 × 24.7 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 24.7 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 404.85829959514 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

24.7 dm ≅ 0.002 km

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