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 460 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 460 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

460 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 460 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.046 km

The final result is:

460 dm → 0.046 km

We conclude that 460 decimeters is equivalent to 0.046 kilometers:

460 decimeters = 0.046 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 21.739130434783 × 460 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 460 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 21.739130434783 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

460 dm ≅ 0.046 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty-one point seven three nine times four hundred sixty decimeters.
