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 8780 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8780 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

8780 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8780 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.878 km

The final result is:

8780 dm → 0.878 km

We conclude that 8780 decimeters is equivalent to 0.878 kilometers:

8780 decimeters = 0.878 kilometers
