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 472.3 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 472.3 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

472.3 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 472.3 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.04723 km

The final result is:

472.3 dm → 0.04723 km

We conclude that 472.3 decimeters is equivalent to 0.04723 kilometers:

472.3 decimeters = 0.04723 kilometers

Alternative conversion
