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 36.7 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 36.7 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

36.7 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 36.7 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.00367 km

The final result is:

36.7 dm → 0.00367 km

We conclude that 36.7 decimeters is equivalent to 0.00367 kilometers:

36.7 decimeters = 0.00367 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 272.4795640327 × 36.7 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 36.7 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 272.4795640327 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

36.7 dm ≅ 0.004 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately two hundred seventy-two point four eight times thirty-six point seven decimeters.
