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 709 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 709 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

709 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 709 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0709 km

The final result is:

709 dm → 0.0709 km

We conclude that 709 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0709 kilometers:

709 decimeters = 0.0709 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 14.10437235543 × 709 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 709 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 14.10437235543 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

709 dm ≅ 0.071 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately fourteen point one zero four times seven hundred nine decimeters.
