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 499.7 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 499.7 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

499.7 dm → L(km)

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

L(km) = 499.7 dm × 0.0001 km

L(km) = 0.04997 km

The final result is:

499.7 dm → 0.04997 km
