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 871 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 871 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

871 dm → L(km)

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

L(km) = 871 dm × 0.0001 km

L(km) = 0.0871 km

The final result is:

871 dm → 0.0871 km

We conclude that 871 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0871 kilometers:
