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 9970 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 9970 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

9970 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 9970 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.997 km

The final result is:

9970 dm → 0.997 km

We conclude that 9970 decimeters is equivalent to 0.997 kilometers:

9970 decimeters = 0.997 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.0030090270812 × 9970 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 9970 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0030090270812 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

9970 dm ≅ 0.997 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point zero zero three times nine thousand nine hundred seventy decimeters.
