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 6421 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6421 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

6421 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6421 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6421 km

The final result is:

6421 dm → 0.6421 km

We conclude that 6421 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6421 kilometers:

6421 decimeters = 0.6421 kilometers

Alternative conversion
