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 270.1 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 270.1 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

270.1 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 270.1 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.02701 km

The final result is:

270.1 dm → 0.02701 km

We conclude that 270.1 decimeters is equivalent to 0.02701 kilometers:

270.1 decimeters = 0.02701 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 37.023324694558 × 270.1 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 270.1 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 37.023324694558 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

270.1 dm ≅ 0.027 km

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