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 738 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 738 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

738 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 738 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0738 km

The final result is:

738 dm → 0.0738 km

We conclude that 738 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0738 kilometers:

738 decimeters = 0.0738 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 13.550135501355 × 738 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 738 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 13.550135501355 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

738 dm ≅ 0.074 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately thirteen point five five times seven hundred thirty-eight decimeters.
