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 5226 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5226 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

5226 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5226 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5226 km

The final result is:

5226 dm → 0.5226 km

We conclude that 5226 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5226 kilometers:

5226 decimeters = 0.5226 kilometers

Alternative conversion
