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 848 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 848 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

848 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 848 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0848 km

The final result is:

848 dm → 0.0848 km

We conclude that 848 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0848 kilometers:

848 decimeters = 0.0848 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 11.792452830189 × 848 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 848 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 11.792452830189 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

848 dm ≅ 0.085 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eleven point seven nine two times eight hundred forty-eight decimeters.
