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 4977 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4977 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

4977 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4977 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4977 km

The final result is:

4977 dm → 0.4977 km

We conclude that 4977 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4977 kilometers:

4977 decimeters = 0.4977 kilometers
