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 864 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 864 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

864 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 864 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0864 km

The final result is:

864 dm → 0.0864 km

We conclude that 864 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0864 kilometers:

864 decimeters = 0.0864 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 11.574074074074 × 864 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 864 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 11.574074074074 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

864 dm ≅ 0.086 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eleven point five seven four times eight hundred sixty-four decimeters.
