To convert meters to decimeters (m to dm) or to convert decimeters to meters (dm to m), you may use the converter above. Alternatively, to find out how many decimeters there are in "x" meters, you may use the meters to decimeters table.
Below, you will find information of how to find out how many decimeters there are in "x" meters, including the formulas and example conversions.
How many decimeters in a meter?
1 Meter (m) is equal to 10 decimeters (dm). To convert meters to decimeters, multiply the meter value by 10.
For example, to find out how many decimeters there are in 2 meters, multiply 2 by 10, that makes 20 dm in 2 meters.
meters to decimeters formula
decimeters = meter * 10
How to convert decimeters to meters?
1 Decimeter (dm) is equal to 0.1 meter (m). To convert decimeters to meters, multiply the decimeter value by 0.1 or divide by 10.
For example, to convert 50 decimeters to meters, divide 50 by 10, that makes 5 meters im 50 dm.
decimeters to meters formula
meter = decimeter * 0.1
meter = decimeter / 10
