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 8342 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8342 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

8342 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8342 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8342 km

The final result is:

8342 dm → 0.8342 km

We conclude that 8342 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8342 kilometers:

8342 decimeters = 0.8342 kilometers
