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 4790 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4790 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

4790 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4790 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.479 km

The final result is:

4790 dm → 0.479 km

We conclude that 4790 decimeters is equivalent to 0.479 kilometers:

4790 decimeters = 0.479 kilometers
