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 8996 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8996 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

8996 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8996 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8996 km

The final result is:

8996 dm → 0.8996 km

We conclude that 8996 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8996 kilometers:

8996 decimeters = 0.8996 kilometers
