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 568 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 568 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

568 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 568 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0568 km

The final result is:

568 dm → 0.0568 km

We conclude that 568 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0568 kilometers:

568 decimeters = 0.0568 kilometers

Alternative conversion
