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 8725 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8725 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

8725 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8725 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8725 km

The final result is:

8725 dm → 0.8725 km

We conclude that 8725 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8725 kilometers:

8725 decimeters = 0.8725 kilometers
