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 5024 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5024 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

5024 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5024 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5024 km

The final result is:

5024 dm → 0.5024 km

We conclude that 5024 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5024 kilometers:

5024 decimeters = 0.5024 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.9904458598726 × 5024 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 5024 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.9904458598726 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

5024 dm ≅ 0.502 km

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