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 1523 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1523 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

1523 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1523 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1523 km

The final result is:

1523 dm → 0.1523 km

We conclude that 1523 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1523 kilometers:

1523 decimeters = 0.1523 kilometers
