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 5272 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5272 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

5272 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5272 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5272 km

The final result is:

5272 dm → 0.5272 km

We conclude that 5272 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5272 kilometers:

5272 decimeters = 0.5272 kilometers
