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 426 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 426 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

426 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 426 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0426 km

The final result is:

426 dm → 0.0426 km

We conclude that 426 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0426 kilometers:

426 decimeters = 0.0426 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 23.474178403756 × 426 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 426 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 23.474178403756 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred twenty-six decimeters is approximately zero point zero four three kilometers:

426 dm ≅ 0.043 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty-three point four seven four times four hundred twenty-six decimeters.
