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 971 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 971 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

971 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 971 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0971 km

The final result is:

971 dm → 0.0971 km

We conclude that 971 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0971 kilometers:

971 decimeters = 0.0971 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 10.298661174047 × 971 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 971 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 10.298661174047 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

971 dm ≅ 0.097 km

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