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 5473 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5473 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

5473 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5473 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5473 km

The final result is:

5473 dm → 0.5473 km

We conclude that 5473 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5473 kilometers:

5473 decimeters = 0.5473 kilometers
