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 262 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 262 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

262 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 262 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0262 km

The final result is:

262 dm → 0.0262 km

We conclude that 262 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0262 kilometers:

262 decimeters = 0.0262 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 38.167938931298 × 262 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 262 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 38.167938931298 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

262 dm ≅ 0.026 km

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