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 718 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 718 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

718 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 718 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0718 km

The final result is:

718 dm → 0.0718 km

We conclude that 718 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0718 kilometers:

718 decimeters = 0.0718 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 13.927576601671 × 718 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 718 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 13.927576601671 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

718 dm ≅ 0.072 km

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