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 97.1 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 97.1 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

97.1 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 97.1 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.00971 km

The final result is:

97.1 dm → 0.00971 km

We conclude that 97.1 decimeters is equivalent to 0.00971 kilometers:

97.1 decimeters = 0.00971 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 102.98661174047 × 97.1 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 97.1 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 102.98661174047 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

97.1 dm ≅ 0.01 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one hundred two point nine eight seven times ninety-seven point one decimeters.
