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 6590 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6590 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

6590 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6590 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.659 km

The final result is:

6590 dm → 0.659 km

We conclude that 6590 decimeters is equivalent to 0.659 kilometers:

6590 decimeters = 0.659 kilometers
