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 1521 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1521 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

1521 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1521 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1521 km

The final result is:

1521 dm → 0.1521 km

We conclude that 1521 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1521 kilometers:

1521 decimeters = 0.1521 kilometers

Alternative conversion
