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 4397 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4397 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

4397 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4397 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4397 km

The final result is:

4397 dm → 0.4397 km

We conclude that 4397 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4397 kilometers:
