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 2997 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 2997 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

2997 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 2997 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.2997 km

The final result is:

2997 dm → 0.2997 km

We conclude that 2997 decimeters is equivalent to 0.2997 kilometers:

2997 decimeters = 0.2997 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 3.3366700033367 × 2997 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 2997 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 3.3366700033367 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 ninety-seven decimeters is approximately zero point three kilometers:

2997 dm ≅ 0.3 km

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