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 3697 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3697 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

3697 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3697 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.3697 km

The final result is:

3697 dm → 0.3697 km

We conclude that 3697 decimeters is equivalent to 0.3697 kilometers:

3697 decimeters = 0.3697 kilometers
