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 9997 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 9997 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
9997 dm → L(km)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:
L(km) = 9997 dm × 0.0001 km
L(km) = 0.9997 km
The final result is:
9997 dm → 0.9997 km
We conclude that 9997 decimeters is equivalent to 0.9997 kilometers:
9997 decimeters = 0.9997 kilometers
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.000300090027 × 9997 decimeters.
Another way is saying that 9997 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.000300090027 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 ninety-seven decimeters is approximately one kilometers:
9997 dm ≅ 1 km
An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one times nine thousand nine hundred ninety-seven decimeters.
