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 1503 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1503 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

1503 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1503 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1503 km

The final result is:

1503 dm → 0.1503 km

We conclude that 1503 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1503 kilometers:

1503 decimeters = 0.1503 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 6.6533599467731 × 1503 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1503 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 6.6533599467731 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five hundred three decimeters is approximately zero point one five kilometers:

1503 dm ≅ 0.15 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately six point six five three times one thousand five hundred three decimeters.
