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 970 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 970 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

970 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 970 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.097 km

The final result is:

970 dm → 0.097 km

We conclude that 970 decimeters is equivalent to 0.097 kilometers:

970 decimeters = 0.097 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 10.309278350515 × 970 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 970 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 10.309278350515 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

970 dm ≅ 0.097 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately ten point three zero nine times nine hundred seventy decimeters.
