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 8402 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8402 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

8402 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8402 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8402 km

The final result is:

8402 dm → 0.8402 km

We conclude that 8402 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8402 kilometers:

8402 decimeters = 0.8402 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.1901928112354 × 8402 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 8402 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.1901928112354 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

8402 dm ≅ 0.84 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point one nine times eight thousand four hundred two decimeters.
