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 2678 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2678 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

2678 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2678 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.2678 km

The final result is:

2678 dm → 0.2678 km

We conclude that 2678 decimeters is equivalent to 0.2678 kilometers:

2678 decimeters = 0.2678 kilometers

Alternative conversion
