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 424 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 424 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

424 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 424 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0424 km

The final result is:

424 dm → 0.0424 km

We conclude that 424 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0424 kilometers:

424 decimeters = 0.0424 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 23.584905660377 × 424 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 424 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 23.584905660377 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

424 dm ≅ 0.042 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty-three point five eight five times four hundred twenty-four decimeters.
