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 788 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 788 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

788 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 788 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0788 km

The final result is:

788 dm → 0.0788 km

We conclude that 788 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0788 kilometers:

788 decimeters = 0.0788 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 12.690355329949 × 788 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 788 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 12.690355329949 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

788 dm ≅ 0.079 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twelve point six nine times seven hundred eighty-eight decimeters.
