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 2700 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2700 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

2700 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2700 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.27 km

The final result is:

2700 dm → 0.27 km

We conclude that 2700 decimeters is equivalent to 0.27 kilometers:

2700 decimeters = 0.27 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 3.7037037037037 × 2700 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 2700 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 3.7037037037037 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

2700 dm ≅ 0.27 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately three point seven zero four times two thousand seven hundred decimeters.
