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 2420 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2420 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

2420 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2420 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.242 km

The final result is:

2420 dm → 0.242 km

We conclude that 2420 decimeters is equivalent to 0.242 kilometers:

2420 decimeters = 0.242 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 4.1322314049587 × 2420 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 2420 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 4.1322314049587 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

2420 dm ≅ 0.242 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately four point one three two times two thousand four hundred twenty decimeters.
