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 8522 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8522 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

8522 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8522 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8522 km

The final result is:

8522 dm → 0.8522 km

We conclude that 8522 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8522 kilometers:

8522 decimeters = 0.8522 kilometers
