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 8495 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8495 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

8495 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8495 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8495 km

The final result is:

8495 dm → 0.8495 km

We conclude that 8495 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8495 kilometers:
