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 968 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 968 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

968 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 968 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0968 km

The final result is:

968 dm → 0.0968 km

We conclude that 968 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0968 kilometers:

968 decimeters = 0.0968 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 10.330578512397 × 968 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 968 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 10.330578512397 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred sixty-eight decimeters is approximately zero point zero nine seven kilometers:

968 dm ≅ 0.097 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately ten point three three one times nine hundred sixty-eight decimeters.
