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 462.2 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 462.2 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

462.2 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 462.2 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.04622 km

The final result is:

462.2 dm → 0.04622 km

We conclude that 462.2 decimeters is equivalent to 0.04622 kilometers:

462.2 decimeters = 0.04622 kilometers
