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 1530 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1530 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

1530 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1530 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.153 km

The final result is:

1530 dm → 0.153 km

We conclude that 1530 decimeters is equivalent to 0.153 kilometers:

1530 decimeters = 0.153 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 6.5359477124183 × 1530 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1530 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 6.5359477124183 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 thirty decimeters is approximately zero point one five three kilometers:

1530 dm ≅ 0.153 km

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