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 6982 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6982 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

6982 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6982 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6982 km

The final result is:

6982 dm → 0.6982 km

We conclude that 6982 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6982 kilometers:
