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 77 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 77 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

77 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 77 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0077 km

The final result is:

77 dm → 0.0077 km

We conclude that 77 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0077 kilometers:

77 decimeters = 0.0077 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 129.87012987013 × 77 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 77 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 129.87012987013 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

77 dm ≅ 0.008 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one hundred twenty-nine point eight seven times seventy-seven decimeters.
