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 3400 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3400 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

3400 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3400 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.34 km

The final result is:

3400 dm → 0.34 km

We conclude that 3400 decimeters is equivalent to 0.34 kilometers:

3400 decimeters = 0.34 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.9411764705882 × 3400 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 3400 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.9411764705882 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

3400 dm ≅ 0.34 km

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