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 711 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 711 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

711 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 711 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0711 km

The final result is:

711 dm → 0.0711 km

We conclude that 711 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0711 kilometers:

711 decimeters = 0.0711 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 14.064697609001 × 711 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 711 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 14.064697609001 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

711 dm ≅ 0.071 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately fourteen point zero six five times seven hundred eleven decimeters.
