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 7000 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 7000 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

7000 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 7000 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.7 km

The final result is:

7000 dm → 0.7 km

We conclude that 7000 decimeters is equivalent to 0.7 kilometers:

7000 decimeters = 0.7 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.4285714285714 × 7000 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 7000 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.4285714285714 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

7000 dm ≅ 0.7 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point four two nine times seven thousand decimeters.
