    What is a Decameter?

    Definition: A Decameter (symbol: dam) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The decameter whose sign is indicated as 'dam' is one of the few distinctive standards of length in the metric system and equals ten meters. Although it is a rare unit that hardly comes up in peoples’ day-to-day activities. the decameter is quite useful when measuring mid-range distances as meters would seem too small while kilometers would be too large to measure.
    History of dam: A decimeter is a measurement that is ten times larger than a meter: the ten meters were adopted as part of the metric system during the late 18th century French Revolution. This was mainly because, at that period, different regions used inconsistent units of measurement in order to trade or even communicate scientific findings. France introduced revolutionary ideas into the standardization attempts, and in 1791, the French Academy of Science introduced the metric system - a rational, and a decimal-based system that stood for the universal one.

    What is a Kilometer?

    Definition: A Kilometer (symbol: km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The kilometer is the abbreviation for kilometer which is indicated by the abbreviation km in the system of metric and is equivalent to a 1000 meters. Measurement which one needs to use frequently in everyday conversation when describing locations like how far a place is or, the distance of a race. For example, a normal marathon run is 42.195 kilometers in distance, while the distance on the roads and highways is in kilometers. This makes the kilometer play an imperative role in coordinating the world around us and developing a relationship that we can all understand between these distances.
    History of km: The French Revolution late in 1791 saw the formation of the French Academy of Sciences which sought to develop standard measurements that would be coherent and comprehensive. They defined the meter as the fundamental measure of length that is based on the selected part of the Earth’s meridian. Due to the desire to measure more elaborate distances, a kilometer was then defined as a multiple of the meter and very specifically as equal to one 1000 meters.

    How to convert Decameter to Kilometer

    Convert Decameter to Kilometer Calculation formula

    Now to convert decameters to kilometers, divide the length in decameters by 10000

    Kilometre = Decametre10000
