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 4478 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4478 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

4478 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4478 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4478 km

The final result is:

4478 dm → 0.4478 km

We conclude that 4478 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4478 kilometers:

4478 decimeters = 0.4478 kilometers
