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 5423 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5423 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

5423 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5423 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5423 km

The final result is:

5423 dm → 0.5423 km

We conclude that 5423 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5423 kilometers:

5423 decimeters = 0.5423 kilometers

Alternative conversion
