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 9942 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 9942 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

9942 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 9942 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.9942 km

The final result is:

9942 dm → 0.9942 km

We conclude that 9942 decimeters is equivalent to 0.9942 kilometers:

9942 decimeters = 0.9942 kilometers
