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 8848 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8848 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

8848 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8848 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8848 km

The final result is:

8848 dm → 0.8848 km

We conclude that 8848 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8848 kilometers:

8848 decimeters = 0.8848 kilometers
