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 6458 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6458 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

6458 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6458 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6458 km

The final result is:

6458 dm → 0.6458 km

We conclude that 6458 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6458 kilometers:
