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 4462 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4462 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

4462 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4462 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4462 km

The final result is:

4462 dm → 0.4462 km

We conclude that 4462 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4462 kilometers:
