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 1473 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1473 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

1473 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1473 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1473 km

The final result is:

1473 dm → 0.1473 km

We conclude that 1473 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1473 kilometers:

1473 decimeters = 0.1473 kilometers
