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 6478 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6478 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

6478 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6478 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6478 km

The final result is:

6478 dm → 0.6478 km

We conclude that 6478 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6478 kilometers:

6478 decimeters = 0.6478 kilometers
