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 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 24 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 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 24 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0024 km

The final result is:

24 dm → 0.0024 km

We conclude that 24 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0024 kilometers:

24 decimeters = 0.0024 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 416.66666666667 × 24 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 24 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 416.66666666667 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

24 dm ≅ 0.002 km

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