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 5585 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5585 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

5585 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5585 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5585 km

The final result is:

5585 dm → 0.5585 km

We conclude that 5585 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5585 kilometers:
