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 9717 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 9717 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

9717 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 9717 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.9717 km

The final result is:

9717 dm → 0.9717 km

We conclude that 9717 decimeters is equivalent to 0.9717 kilometers:

9717 decimeters = 0.9717 kilometers
