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 977 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 977 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

977 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 977 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0977 km

The final result is:

977 dm → 0.0977 km

We conclude that 977 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0977 kilometers:

977 decimeters = 0.0977 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 10.235414534289 × 977 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 977 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 10.235414534289 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

977 dm ≅ 0.098 km

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