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 1477 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1477 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

1477 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1477 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1477 km

The final result is:

1477 dm → 0.1477 km

We conclude that 1477 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1477 kilometers:

1477 decimeters = 0.1477 kilometers

Alternative conversion
