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 273.7 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 273.7 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

273.7 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 273.7 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.02737 km

The final result is:

273.7 dm → 0.02737 km

We conclude that 273.7 decimeters is equivalent to 0.02737 kilometers:

273.7 decimeters = 0.02737 kilometers

Alternative conversion
