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 1472 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1472 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

1472 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1472 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1472 km

The final result is:

1472 dm → 0.1472 km

We conclude that 1472 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1472 kilometers:

1472 decimeters = 0.1472 kilometers
