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 74.8 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 74.8 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

74.8 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 74.8 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.00748 km

The final result is:

74.8 dm → 0.00748 km

We conclude that 74.8 decimeters is equivalent to 0.00748 kilometers:

74.8 decimeters = 0.00748 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 133.68983957219 × 74.8 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 74.8 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 133.68983957219 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

74.8 dm ≅ 0.007 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one hundred thirty-three point six nine times seventy-four point eight decimeters.
