Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:

1 ft = 3.048 dm

To convert 5800 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 5800 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 3.048 dm

5800 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 5800 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 17678.4 dm

The final result is:

5800 ft → 17678.4 dm

We conclude that 5800 feet is equivalent to 17678.4 decimeters:

5800 feet = 17678.4 decimeters
