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 4142 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4142 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

4142 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4142 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4142 km

The final result is:

4142 dm → 0.4142 km

We conclude that 4142 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4142 kilometers:

4142 decimeters = 0.4142 kilometers
