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 2742 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2742 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

2742 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2742 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.2742 km

The final result is:

2742 dm → 0.2742 km

We conclude that 2742 decimeters is equivalent to 0.2742 kilometers:

2742 decimeters = 0.2742 kilometers

Alternative conversion
