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 1496 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1496 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

1496 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1496 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1496 km

The final result is:

1496 dm → 0.1496 km

We conclude that 1496 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1496 kilometers:

1496 decimeters = 0.1496 kilometers
