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 260 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 260 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

260 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 260 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.026 km

The final result is:

260 dm → 0.026 km

We conclude that 260 decimeters is equivalent to 0.026 kilometers:

260 decimeters = 0.026 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 38.461538461538 × 260 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 260 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 38.461538461538 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

260 dm ≅ 0.026 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately thirty-eight point four six two times two hundred sixty decimeters.
