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 875 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 875 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

875 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 875 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0875 km

The final result is:

875 dm → 0.0875 km

We conclude that 875 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0875 kilometers:

875 decimeters = 0.0875 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 11.428571428571 × 875 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 875 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 11.428571428571 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

875 dm ≅ 0.088 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately eleven point four two nine times eight hundred seventy-five decimeters.
