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 479 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 479 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

479 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 479 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0479 km

The final result is:

479 dm → 0.0479 km

We conclude that 479 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0479 kilometers:

479 decimeters = 0.0479 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 20.876826722338 × 479 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 479 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 20.876826722338 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

479 dm ≅ 0.048 km

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