Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to decimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.1 decimeters:

1 cm = 0.1 dm

To convert 1001 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 1001 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.1 dm

1001 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 1001 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 100.1 dm

The final result is:

1001 cm → 100.1 dm

We conclude that 1001 centimeters is equivalent to 100.1 decimeters:

1001 centimeters = 100.1 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.00999000999001 × 1001 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1001 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00999000999001 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

1001 cm ≅ 100.1 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero one times one thousand one centimeters.
