Conversion formula
How to convert 21 kilometers to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: $1\mathrm{km}=10000\mathrm{dm}$

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of decimeters.

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown $x$:

Conclusion: 21 ⁢ km = 210000 ⁢ dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 4.76190476190476e-06 times 21 kilometers.
