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 6972 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6972 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

6972 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6972 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6972 km

The final result is:

6972 dm → 0.6972 km

We conclude that 6972 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6972 kilometers:

6972 decimeters = 0.6972 kilometers
