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 277 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 277 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

277 dm → L(km)

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

L(km) = 277 dm × 0.0001 km

L(km) = 0.0277 km

The final result is:

277 dm → 0.0277 km

We conclude that 277 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0277 kilometers:

277 decimeters = 0.0277 kilometers
