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 265 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 265 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

265 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 265 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0265 km

The final result is:

265 dm → 0.0265 km

We conclude that 265 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0265 kilometers:

265 decimeters = 0.0265 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 37.735849056604 × 265 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 265 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 37.735849056604 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

265 dm ≅ 0.027 km

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