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 8001 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8001 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

8001 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8001 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8001 km

The final result is:

8001 dm → 0.8001 km

We conclude that 8001 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8001 kilometers:

8001 decimeters = 0.8001 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.2498437695288 × 8001 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 8001 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.2498437695288 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand one decimeters is approximately zero point eight kilometers:

8001 dm ≅ 0.8 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point two five times eight thousand one decimeters.
