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 687 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 687 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

687 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 687 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0687 km

The final result is:

687 dm → 0.0687 km

We conclude that 687 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0687 kilometers:

687 decimeters = 0.0687 kilometers

Alternative conversion
