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 5382 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5382 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

5382 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5382 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5382 km

The final result is:

5382 dm → 0.5382 km

We conclude that 5382 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5382 kilometers:

5382 decimeters = 0.5382 kilometers
