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 4690 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4690 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

4690 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4690 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.469 km

The final result is:

4690 dm → 0.469 km

We conclude that 4690 decimeters is equivalent to 0.469 kilometers:

4690 decimeters = 0.469 kilometers
