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 1572 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1572 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

1572 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1572 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1572 km

The final result is:

1572 dm → 0.1572 km

We conclude that 1572 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1572 kilometers:

1572 decimeters = 0.1572 kilometers
