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 697 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 697 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

697 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 697 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0697 km

The final result is:

697 dm → 0.0697 km

We conclude that 697 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0697 kilometers:

697 decimeters = 0.0697 kilometers
