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 3720 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3720 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

3720 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3720 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.372 km

The final result is:

3720 dm → 0.372 km

We conclude that 3720 decimeters is equivalent to 0.372 kilometers:

3720 decimeters = 0.372 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.6881720430108 × 3720 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 3720 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.6881720430108 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

3720 dm ≅ 0.372 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately two point six eight eight times three thousand seven hundred twenty decimeters.
