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 442 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 442 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

442 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 442 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0442 km

The final result is:

442 dm → 0.0442 km

We conclude that 442 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0442 kilometers:

442 decimeters = 0.0442 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 22.62443438914 × 442 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 442 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 22.62443438914 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

442 dm ≅ 0.044 km

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