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 240 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 240 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

240 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 240 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.024 km

The final result is:

240 dm → 0.024 km

We conclude that 240 decimeters is equivalent to 0.024 kilometers:

240 decimeters = 0.024 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 41.666666666667 × 240 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 240 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 41.666666666667 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

240 dm ≅ 0.024 km

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