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 5685 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5685 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

5685 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5685 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.5685 km

The final result is:

5685 dm → 0.5685 km

We conclude that 5685 decimeters is equivalent to 0.5685 kilometers:

5685 decimeters = 0.5685 kilometers
