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 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 248 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 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 248 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0248 km

The final result is:

248 dm → 0.0248 km

We conclude that 248 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0248 kilometers:

248 decimeters = 0.0248 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 40.322580645161 × 248 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 248 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 40.322580645161 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 decimeters is approximately zero point zero two five kilometers:

248 dm ≅ 0.025 km

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