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 4738 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4738 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

4738 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4738 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4738 km

The final result is:

4738 dm → 0.4738 km

We conclude that 4738 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4738 kilometers:

4738 decimeters = 0.4738 kilometers
