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 820 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 820 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

820 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 820 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.082 km

The final result is:

820 dm → 0.082 km

We conclude that 820 decimeters is equivalent to 0.082 kilometers:

820 decimeters = 0.082 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 12.19512195122 × 820 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 820 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 12.19512195122 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

820 dm ≅ 0.082 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twelve point one nine five times eight hundred twenty decimeters.
