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 482 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 482 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

482 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 482 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0482 km

The final result is:

482 dm → 0.0482 km

We conclude that 482 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0482 kilometers:

482 decimeters = 0.0482 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 20.746887966805 × 482 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 482 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 20.746887966805 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

482 dm ≅ 0.048 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty point seven four seven times four hundred eighty-two decimeters.
