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 1563 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1563 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

1563 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1563 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1563 km

The final result is:

1563 dm → 0.1563 km

We conclude that 1563 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1563 kilometers:

1563 decimeters = 0.1563 kilometers
