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 315 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 315 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

315 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 315 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0315 km

The final result is:

315 dm → 0.0315 km

We conclude that 315 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0315 kilometers:

315 decimeters = 0.0315 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 31.746031746032 × 315 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 315 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 31.746031746032 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

315 dm ≅ 0.032 km

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