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 1580 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1580 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

1580 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1580 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.158 km

The final result is:

1580 dm → 0.158 km

We conclude that 1580 decimeters is equivalent to 0.158 kilometers:

1580 decimeters = 0.158 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 6.3291139240506 × 1580 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1580 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 6.3291139240506 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five hundred eighty decimeters is approximately zero point one five eight kilometers:

1580 dm ≅ 0.158 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately six point three two nine times one thousand five hundred eighty decimeters.
