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 724 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 724 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

724 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 724 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0724 km

The final result is:

724 dm → 0.0724 km

We conclude that 724 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0724 kilometers:

724 decimeters = 0.0724 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 13.812154696133 × 724 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 724 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 13.812154696133 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

724 dm ≅ 0.072 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately thirteen point eight one two times seven hundred twenty-four decimeters.
