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 522 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 522 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

522 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 522 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0522 km

The final result is:

522 dm → 0.0522 km

We conclude that 522 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0522 kilometers:

522 decimeters = 0.0522 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 19.157088122605 × 522 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 522 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 19.157088122605 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

522 dm ≅ 0.052 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately nineteen point one five seven times five hundred twenty-two decimeters.
