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 4620 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4620 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

4620 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4620 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.462 km

The final result is:

4620 dm → 0.462 km

We conclude that 4620 decimeters is equivalent to 0.462 kilometers:

4620 decimeters = 0.462 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 2.1645021645022 × 4620 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 4620 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.1645021645022 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

4620 dm ≅ 0.462 km

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