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 4998 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4998 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

4998 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4998 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4998 km

The final result is:

4998 dm → 0.4998 km

We conclude that 4998 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4998 kilometers:

4998 decimeters = 0.4998 kilometers
