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 8079 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8079 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

8079 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8079 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8079 km

The final result is:

8079 dm → 0.8079 km

We conclude that 8079 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8079 kilometers:

8079 decimeters = 0.8079 kilometers
