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 6980 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6980 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

6980 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6980 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.698 km

The final result is:

6980 dm → 0.698 km

We conclude that 6980 decimeters is equivalent to 0.698 kilometers:

6980 decimeters = 0.698 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.432664756447 × 6980 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 6980 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.432664756447 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

6980 dm ≅ 0.698 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point four three three times six thousand nine hundred eighty decimeters.
