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 797 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 797 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

797 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 797 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0797 km

The final result is:

797 dm → 0.0797 km

We conclude that 797 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0797 kilometers:

797 decimeters = 0.0797 kilometers
