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 8422 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8422 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

8422 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8422 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8422 km

The final result is:

8422 dm → 0.8422 km

We conclude that 8422 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8422 kilometers:

8422 decimeters = 0.8422 kilometers
