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 790 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 790 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

790 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 790 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.079 km

The final result is:

790 dm → 0.079 km

We conclude that 790 decimeters is equivalent to 0.079 kilometers:

790 decimeters = 0.079 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 12.658227848101 × 790 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 790 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 12.658227848101 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

790 dm ≅ 0.079 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twelve point six five eight times seven hundred ninety decimeters.
