Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to decimeters is 9.144, which means that 1 yard is equal to 9.144 decimeters:

1 yd = 9.144 dm

To convert 497 yards into decimeters we have to multiply 497 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 9.144 dm

497 yd → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 497 yd × 9.144 dm

L_(dm) = 4544.568 dm

The final result is:

497 yd → 4544.568 dm

We conclude that 497 yards is equivalent to 4544.568 decimeters:

497 yards = 4544.568 decimeters
