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 248.4 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 248.4 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

248.4 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 248.4 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.02484 km

The final result is:

248.4 dm → 0.02484 km

We conclude that 248.4 decimeters is equivalent to 0.02484 kilometers:

248.4 decimeters = 0.02484 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 40.257648953301 × 248.4 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 248.4 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 40.257648953301 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

248.4 dm ≅ 0.025 km

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