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 4942 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4942 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

4942 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4942 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4942 km

The final result is:

4942 dm → 0.4942 km

We conclude that 4942 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4942 kilometers:

4942 decimeters = 0.4942 kilometers
