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 1520 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1520 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

1520 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1520 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.152 km

The final result is:

1520 dm → 0.152 km

We conclude that 1520 decimeters is equivalent to 0.152 kilometers:

1520 decimeters = 0.152 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 6.5789473684211 × 1520 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1520 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 6.5789473684211 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 twenty decimeters is approximately zero point one five two kilometers:

1520 dm ≅ 0.152 km

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