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 689 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 689 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

689 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 689 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0689 km

The final result is:

689 dm → 0.0689 km

We conclude that 689 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0689 kilometers:

689 decimeters = 0.0689 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 14.513788098694 × 689 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 689 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 14.513788098694 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred eighty-nine decimeters is approximately zero point zero six nine kilometers:

689 dm ≅ 0.069 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately fourteen point five one four times six hundred eighty-nine decimeters.
