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 6642 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6642 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

6642 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6642 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6642 km

The final result is:

6642 dm → 0.6642 km

We conclude that 6642 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6642 kilometers:

6642 decimeters = 0.6642 kilometers
