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 5740 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5740 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

5740 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5740 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.574 km

The final result is:

5740 dm → 0.574 km

We conclude that 5740 decimeters is equivalent to 0.574 kilometers:

5740 decimeters = 0.574 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.7421602787456 × 5740 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 5740 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.7421602787456 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand seven hundred forty decimeters is approximately zero point five seven four kilometers:

5740 dm ≅ 0.574 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point seven four two times five thousand seven hundred forty decimeters.
