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 8679 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8679 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

8679 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8679 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8679 km

The final result is:

8679 dm → 0.8679 km

We conclude that 8679 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8679 kilometers:
