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 63 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 63 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

63 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 63 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0063 km

The final result is:

63 dm → 0.0063 km

We conclude that 63 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0063 kilometers:

63 decimeters = 0.0063 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 158.73015873016 × 63 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 63 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 158.73015873016 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

63 dm ≅ 0.006 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one hundred fifty-eight point seven three times sixty-three decimeters.
