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 6790 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6790 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

6790 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6790 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.679 km

The final result is:

6790 dm → 0.679 km

We conclude that 6790 decimeters is equivalent to 0.679 kilometers:

6790 decimeters = 0.679 kilometers
