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 855.4 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 855.4 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

855.4 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 855.4 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.08554 km

The final result is:

855.4 dm → 0.08554 km

We conclude that 855.4 decimeters is equivalent to 0.08554 kilometers:

855.4 decimeters = 0.08554 kilometers
