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 715 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 715 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

715 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 715 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0715 km

The final result is:

715 dm → 0.0715 km

We conclude that 715 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0715 kilometers:

715 decimeters = 0.0715 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 13.986013986014 × 715 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 715 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 13.986013986014 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

715 dm ≅ 0.072 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately thirteen point nine eight six times seven hundred fifteen decimeters.
