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 8702 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8702 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

8702 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8702 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8702 km

The final result is:

8702 dm → 0.8702 km

We conclude that 8702 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8702 kilometers:

8702 decimeters = 0.8702 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.149161112388 × 8702 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 8702 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.149161112388 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand seven hundred two decimeters is approximately zero point eight seven kilometers:

8702 dm ≅ 0.87 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point one four nine times eight thousand seven hundred two decimeters.
