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 3473 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3473 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

3473 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3473 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.3473 km

The final result is:

3473 dm → 0.3473 km

We conclude that 3473 decimeters is equivalent to 0.3473 kilometers:

3473 decimeters = 0.3473 kilometers
