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 1599 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1599 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

1599 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1599 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1599 km

The final result is:

1599 dm → 0.1599 km

We conclude that 1599 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1599 kilometers:

1599 decimeters = 0.1599 kilometers
