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 5790 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5790 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

5790 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 5790 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.579 km

The final result is:

5790 dm → 0.579 km

We conclude that 5790 decimeters is equivalent to 0.579 kilometers:

5790 decimeters = 0.579 kilometers
