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 5502 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5502 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

5502 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5502 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5502 km

The final result is:

5502 dm → 0.5502 km

We conclude that 5502 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5502 kilometers:

5502 decimeters = 0.5502 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.8175209014904 × 5502 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 5502 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.8175209014904 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand five hundred two decimeters is approximately zero point five five kilometers:

5502 dm ≅ 0.55 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point eight one eight times five thousand five hundred two decimeters.
