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 4678 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4678 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

4678 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4678 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4678 km

The final result is:

4678 dm → 0.4678 km

We conclude that 4678 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4678 kilometers:

4678 decimeters = 0.4678 kilometers
