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 7996 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 7996 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

7996 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 7996 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.7996 km

The final result is:

7996 dm → 0.7996 km

We conclude that 7996 decimeters is equivalent to 0.7996 kilometers:

7996 decimeters = 0.7996 kilometers
