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 1000 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 1000 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

1000 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 1000 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 10 dL

The final result is:

1000 ml → 10 dL

We conclude that 1000 milliliters is equivalent to 10 deciliters:

1000 milliliters = 10 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.1 × 1000 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 1000 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.1 deciliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand milliliters is approximately ten deciliters:

1000 ml ≅ 10 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero point one times one thousand milliliters.
