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 422 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 422 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

422 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 422 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0422 km

The final result is:

422 dm → 0.0422 km

We conclude that 422 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0422 kilometers:

422 decimeters = 0.0422 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 23.696682464455 × 422 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 422 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 23.696682464455 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred twenty-two decimeters is approximately zero point zero four two kilometers:

422 dm ≅ 0.042 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty-three point six nine seven times four hundred twenty-two decimeters.
