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 558 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 558 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

558 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 558 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0558 km

The final result is:

558 dm → 0.0558 km

We conclude that 558 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0558 kilometers:

558 decimeters = 0.0558 kilometers

Alternative conversion
