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 8580 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8580 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

8580 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8580 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.858 km

The final result is:

8580 dm → 0.858 km

We conclude that 8580 decimeters is equivalent to 0.858 kilometers:

8580 decimeters = 0.858 kilometers

Alternative conversion
