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 1558 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1558 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

1558 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1558 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1558 km

The final result is:

1558 dm → 0.1558 km

We conclude that 1558 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1558 kilometers:

1558 decimeters = 0.1558 kilometers
