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 4008 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4008 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

4008 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4008 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4008 km

The final result is:

4008 dm → 0.4008 km

We conclude that 4008 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4008 kilometers:

4008 decimeters = 0.4008 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.4950099800399 × 4008 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 4008 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.4950099800399 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand eight decimeters is approximately zero point four zero one kilometers:

4008 dm ≅ 0.401 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately two point four nine five times four thousand eight decimeters.
