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 798 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 798 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

798 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 798 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0798 km

The final result is:

798 dm → 0.0798 km

We conclude that 798 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0798 kilometers:

798 decimeters = 0.0798 kilometers

Alternative conversion
