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 7170 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 7170 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

7170 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 7170 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.717 km

The final result is:

7170 dm → 0.717 km

We conclude that 7170 decimeters is equivalent to 0.717 kilometers:

7170 decimeters = 0.717 kilometers
