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 4520 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4520 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

4520 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4520 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.452 km

The final result is:

4520 dm → 0.452 km

We conclude that 4520 decimeters is equivalent to 0.452 kilometers:

4520 decimeters = 0.452 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.212389380531 × 4520 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 4520 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.212389380531 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

4520 dm ≅ 0.452 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately two point two one two times four thousand five hundred twenty decimeters.
