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 5004 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5004 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

5004 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5004 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5004 km

The final result is:

5004 dm → 0.5004 km

We conclude that 5004 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5004 kilometers:

5004 decimeters = 0.5004 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.9984012789768 × 5004 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 5004 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.9984012789768 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand four decimeters is approximately zero point five kilometers:

5004 dm ≅ 0.5 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point nine nine eight times five thousand four decimeters.
