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 342 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 342 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

342 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 342 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0342 km

The final result is:

342 dm → 0.0342 km

We conclude that 342 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0342 kilometers:

342 decimeters = 0.0342 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 29.239766081871 × 342 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 342 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 29.239766081871 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

342 dm ≅ 0.034 km

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