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 9742 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 9742 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

9742 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 9742 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.9742 km

The final result is:

9742 dm → 0.9742 km

We conclude that 9742 decimeters is equivalent to 0.9742 kilometers:

9742 decimeters = 0.9742 kilometers
