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 8480 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8480 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

8480 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8480 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.848 km

The final result is:

8480 dm → 0.848 km

We conclude that 8480 decimeters is equivalent to 0.848 kilometers:

8480 decimeters = 0.848 kilometers
