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 6372 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6372 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

6372 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6372 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6372 km

The final result is:

6372 dm → 0.6372 km

We conclude that 6372 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6372 kilometers:

6372 decimeters = 0.6372 kilometers
