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 6585 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6585 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

6585 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6585 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6585 km

The final result is:

6585 dm → 0.6585 km

We conclude that 6585 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6585 kilometers:

6585 decimeters = 0.6585 kilometers
