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 245 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 245 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

245 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 245 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0245 km

The final result is:

245 dm → 0.0245 km

We conclude that 245 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0245 kilometers:

245 decimeters = 0.0245 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 40.816326530612 × 245 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 245 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 40.816326530612 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

245 dm ≅ 0.025 km

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