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 5273 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5273 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

5273 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5273 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5273 km

The final result is:

5273 dm → 0.5273 km

We conclude that 5273 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5273 kilometers:

5273 decimeters = 0.5273 kilometers
