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 1422 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1422 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

1422 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1422 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1422 km

The final result is:

1422 dm → 0.1422 km

We conclude that 1422 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1422 kilometers:

1422 decimeters = 0.1422 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 7.0323488045007 × 1422 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1422 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 7.0323488045007 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand four hundred twenty-two decimeters is approximately zero point one four two kilometers:

1422 dm ≅ 0.142 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately seven point zero three two times one thousand four hundred twenty-two decimeters.
