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 597 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 597 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

597 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 597 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0597 km

The final result is:

597 dm → 0.0597 km

We conclude that 597 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0597 kilometers:

597 decimeters = 0.0597 kilometers
