Conversion formula

The conversion factor from milliliters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 milliliter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 ml = 0.01 dL

To convert 1 milliliter into deciliters we have to multiply 1 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from milliliters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ml → 0.01 dL

1 ml → V_(dL)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in deciliters:

V_(dL) = 1 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.01 dL

The final result is:

1 ml → 0.01 dL

We conclude that 1 milliliter is equivalent to 0.01 deciliters:

1 milliliter = 0.01 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 100 × 1 milliliter.

Another way is saying that 1 milliliter is equal to 1 ÷ 100 deciliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one milliliter is approximately zero point zero one deciliters:

1 ml ≅ 0.01 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately one hundred times one milliliter.
