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 268 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 268 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

268 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 268 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0268 km

The final result is:

268 dm → 0.0268 km

We conclude that 268 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0268 kilometers:

268 decimeters = 0.0268 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 37.313432835821 × 268 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 268 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 37.313432835821 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

268 dm ≅ 0.027 km

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