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 1478 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1478 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

1478 dm → L(km)

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

L(km) = 1478 dm × 0.0001 km

L(km) = 0.1478 km

The final result is:

1478 dm → 0.1478 km

We conclude that 1478 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1478 kilometers:
