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 898 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 898 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

898 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 898 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0898 km

The final result is:

898 dm → 0.0898 km

We conclude that 898 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0898 kilometers:

898 decimeters = 0.0898 kilometers
