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 1561 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1561 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

1561 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1561 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1561 km

The final result is:

1561 dm → 0.1561 km

We conclude that 1561 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1561 kilometers:

1561 decimeters = 0.1561 kilometers
