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 1562 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1562 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

1562 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1562 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1562 km

The final result is:

1562 dm → 0.1562 km

We conclude that 1562 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1562 kilometers:

1562 decimeters = 0.1562 kilometers
