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 796 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 796 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

796 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 796 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0796 km

The final result is:

796 dm → 0.0796 km

We conclude that 796 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0796 kilometers:

796 decimeters = 0.0796 kilometers

Alternative conversion
