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 9497 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 9497 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

9497 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 9497 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.9497 km

The final result is:

9497 dm → 0.9497 km

We conclude that 9497 decimeters is equivalent to 0.9497 kilometers:
