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 8790 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8790 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

8790 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8790 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.879 km

The final result is:

8790 dm → 0.879 km

We conclude that 8790 decimeters is equivalent to 0.879 kilometers:

8790 decimeters = 0.879 kilometers
