Conversion formula

The conversion factor from liters to deciliters is 10, which means that 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliters:

1 L = 10 dL

To convert 10000 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 10000 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 10 dL

10000 L → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 10000 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 100000 dL

The final result is:

10000 L → 100000 dL

We conclude that 10000 liters is equivalent to 100000 deciliters:

10000 liters = 100000 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 1.0E-5 × 10000 liters.

Another way is saying that 10000 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0E-5 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

10000 L ≅ 100000 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero times ten thousand liters.
