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 5077 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5077 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

5077 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5077 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5077 km

The final result is:

5077 dm → 0.5077 km

We conclude that 5077 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5077 kilometers:

5077 decimeters = 0.5077 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.9696671262557 × 5077 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 5077 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.9696671262557 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

5077 dm ≅ 0.508 km

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