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 5296 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5296 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

5296 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5296 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5296 km

The final result is:

5296 dm → 0.5296 km

We conclude that 5296 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5296 kilometers:
