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 8572 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8572 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

8572 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8572 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8572 km

The final result is:

8572 dm → 0.8572 km

We conclude that 8572 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8572 kilometers:

8572 decimeters = 0.8572 kilometers
