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 7462 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 7462 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

7462 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 7462 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.7462 km

The final result is:

7462 dm → 0.7462 km

We conclude that 7462 decimeters is equivalent to 0.7462 kilometers:
