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 6462 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6462 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

6462 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6462 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6462 km

The final result is:

6462 dm → 0.6462 km

We conclude that 6462 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6462 kilometers:
