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 477 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 477 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

477 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 477 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0477 km

The final result is:

477 dm → 0.0477 km

We conclude that 477 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0477 kilometers:

477 decimeters = 0.0477 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 20.964360587002 × 477 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 477 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 20.964360587002 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

477 dm ≅ 0.048 km

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