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 5009 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5009 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

5009 dm → L(km)

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

L(km) = 5009 dm × 0.0001 km

L(km) = 0.5009 km

The final result is:

5009 dm → 0.5009 km

We conclude that 5009 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5009 kilometers:

5009 decimeters = 0.5009 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.996406468357 × 5009 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 5009 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.996406468357 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

5009 dm ≅ 0.501 km

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