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 2970 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2970 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

2970 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2970 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.297 km

The final result is:

2970 dm → 0.297 km

We conclude that 2970 decimeters is equivalent to 0.297 kilometers:

2970 decimeters = 0.297 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 3.3670033670034 × 2970 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 2970 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 3.3670033670034 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

2970 dm ≅ 0.297 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately three point three six seven times two thousand nine hundred seventy decimeters.
