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 297 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 297 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

297 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 297 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0297 km

The final result is:

297 dm → 0.0297 km

We conclude that 297 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0297 kilometers:

297 decimeters = 0.0297 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 33.670033670034 × 297 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 297 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 33.670033670034 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

297 dm ≅ 0.03 km

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