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 4888 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4888 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

4888 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4888 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4888 km

The final result is:

4888 dm → 0.4888 km

We conclude that 4888 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4888 kilometers:

4888 decimeters = 0.4888 kilometers
