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 4230 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4230 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

4230 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4230 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.423 km

The final result is:

4230 dm → 0.423 km

We conclude that 4230 decimeters is equivalent to 0.423 kilometers:

4230 decimeters = 0.423 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.3640661938534 × 4230 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 4230 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3640661938534 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

4230 dm ≅ 0.423 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately two point three six four times four thousand two hundred thirty decimeters.
