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 3462 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3462 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

3462 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3462 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.3462 km

The final result is:

3462 dm → 0.3462 km

We conclude that 3462 decimeters is equivalent to 0.3462 kilometers:

3462 decimeters = 0.3462 kilometers
