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 476 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 476 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

476 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 476 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0476 km

The final result is:

476 dm → 0.0476 km

We conclude that 476 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0476 kilometers:

476 decimeters = 0.0476 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 21.008403361345 × 476 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 476 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 21.008403361345 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred seventy-six decimeters is approximately zero point zero four eight kilometers:

476 dm ≅ 0.048 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty-one point zero zero eight times four hundred seventy-six decimeters.
