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 8736 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8736 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

8736 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8736 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8736 km

The final result is:

8736 dm → 0.8736 km

We conclude that 8736 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8736 kilometers:

8736 decimeters = 0.8736 kilometers
