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 4721 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4721 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

4721 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4721 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4721 km

The final result is:

4721 dm → 0.4721 km

We conclude that 4721 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4721 kilometers:

4721 decimeters = 0.4721 kilometers
