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 791 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 791 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

791 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 791 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0791 km

The final result is:

791 dm → 0.0791 km

We conclude that 791 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0791 kilometers:

791 decimeters = 0.0791 kilometers

Alternative conversion
