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 8670 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8670 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

8670 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8670 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.867 km

The final result is:

8670 dm → 0.867 km

We conclude that 8670 decimeters is equivalent to 0.867 kilometers:

8670 decimeters = 0.867 kilometers

Alternative conversion
