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 338 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 338 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

338 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 338 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0338 km

The final result is:

338 dm → 0.0338 km

We conclude that 338 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0338 kilometers:

338 decimeters = 0.0338 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 29.585798816568 × 338 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 338 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 29.585798816568 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

338 dm ≅ 0.034 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty-nine point five eight six times three hundred thirty-eight decimeters.
