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 794 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 794 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

794 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 794 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0794 km

The final result is:

794 dm → 0.0794 km

We conclude that 794 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0794 kilometers:

794 decimeters = 0.0794 kilometers

Alternative conversion
