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 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 97 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 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 97 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0097 km

The final result is:

97 dm → 0.0097 km

We conclude that 97 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0097 kilometers:

97 decimeters = 0.0097 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 103.09278350515 × 97 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 97 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 103.09278350515 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

97 dm ≅ 0.01 km

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